IRENAs multi-faceted work in the region is reflected in Pacific Lighthouses: Renewable Energy Roadmapping for Islands. The main report, intended to provide a framework for further action, is supported by 15 reports on specific islands and a document detailing hybrid
power systems for the Pacific. Together, these reports identify key concepts, challenges and best practices for the accelerated uptake of renewable energy in the
region. The aim is to provide island governments and, indeed, all stakeholders, with baseline information to assist in the development of local renewable energy deployment roadmaps, as well as strengthening the implementation of regional initiatives. IRENA’s Pacific Lighthousesset of reports aims to provide a better understanding of current energy conditions in the Pacific Islands region and to facilitate the continued assessment of challenges and opportunities for the deployment of RE in island environments. The set also constitutes an IRENA input for the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States to be held in Samoa, 1-4 September 2014.
