The North Pacific ACP (African, Caribbean and Pacific) Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Project (North-REP) is a special and unique programme where three of SPC island member countries and territories (Federated States of Micronesia – FSM, Palau and Marshall Islands – RMI) pooled their combined 14.4 million Euro of EDF 10 resources, which they have been identified for the development of their energy sectors. The three PICTs have entrusted SPC with the responsibilities of managing it. This highlights a special partnership between a provider of technical assistance and services and its recipient member countries and territories. It also highlights the three PICTs’ collaboration and vision in working together for the betterment of livelihoods in the north Pacific region.

SPC’s regional office for the North Pacific in Pohnpei, FSM will house the North-REP management office with Energy Specialists based in FSM, Palau and RMI. The North-REP has a special mission. It envisages at least to reduce average monthly electricity consumption in urban households by 10%; provide a total of 12,739 people for the first time to access electricity in FSM and RMI; and assist 21 health centres and 32 schools access basic electricity.
