  1. SIXTH MEETING OF THE PACIFIC ENERGY ADVISORY GROUP11-13 November 2015, SPC, Nabua DAY 1 PACIFIC EFFICIENT LIGHTING STRATEGY Makereta Lomaloma, EDD, SPC

  2. PROJECT OVERVIEW • SPC and UNEP in early 2014 jointly commenced efforts for a Pacific phase-out of incandescent lamps. • The objectives of the UNEP-SPC collaboration are to: • estimate the quantitative environmental and economic benefits of a regional transition to energy efficient lighting and assess the current level of advancement of PICTs;

  3. PROJECT OVERVIEW • identify regional and national priorities for a regional transition to efficient lighting; • provide assistance to SPC and stakeholders to develop a detailed regional strategy for the transition to efficient lighting following an integrated and coordinated approach; and • provide technical and methodological support to PICTs to adapt the regional plan to their national contexts and specific needs.

  4. PROJECT OVERVIEW • At the Pacific Regional Ministers of Energy and Transport meeting from 2-4 April 2014, in Nadi, Fiji, the ministers endorsed SPC-UNEP’s effort to develop a detailed regional strategy for the transition to efficient lighting in PICTs.

  5. ACHIEVEMENTS • Developing the PELS involved the following key components: • Documentation of the status of efficient lighting in PICTs – completed in November 2014 • Consultative inception workshop – completed in September 2014 • Consultative validation workshop – completed in September 2015 • Endorsement of the Strategy –this meeting

  6. ACHIEVEMENTS • Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs • Purpose is to examine the: • Lighting technology and energy use in PICTs; • Efficient lighting policies and regulations in place in the region; and • Efficient lighting programs and projects under way.

  7. Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs Household Lighting: • Linear fluorescent lamps and ballasts - 70% of household lighting • CFLs – 11%; incandescent lamps – 18% • Distribution of lamp types varies from PICT to PICT, e.g: • Some externally ballasted CFLs • Different balance between T12 and T8 LFLs • Balance between 2ft (600mm) and 4 ft (1200mm) LFLs • Ferro-magnetic vs electronic ballasts

  8. Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs Household Lighting: • LEDs virtually unknown in household lighting • Incandescent lighting use varies considerably • lighting accounts for 18% of PICT household electricity use.

  9. Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs Business and government lighting: • LFLs the most common type of lighting; mostly T8s Outdoor and street lighting: • Number and type of lights generally known because they are utility, government or municipal responsibility

  10. Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs Outdoor and street lighting: • Have been focus of several improvement projects • Tonga example: • PEEP 1 counted 3,208 street lights in 2010 • Mainly high pressure sodium, LFL & mercury vapour • 60% operational • Tonga Power and PEEP 2 have installed LEDs since • Average efficacy now 100 l/W compared with 60-65 in PNG, Samoa and Vanuatu

  11. Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs Solar and portable lighting: • In Vanuatu, PNG and Solomon Islands electrification rates are 11-22%, so portable lighting is important part of strategy • Successful solar lantern distribution program in Vanuatu 2010-12 • Use of kerosene lamps declined from 50% of households to 10% • Use of solar lanterns increased from 4% to 25% of households • 15% of homes with access to mains voltage also use them

  12. Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs Solar and portable lighting: • Melanesia’s Million Miracle Project for PNG, Solomon, Vanuatu • Improve the welfare of one million households through solar lights • Small-scale ‘pico-solar’ arrays of 30-40 W becoming important • enough to run LED lighting, TV, radio and phone charging

  13. Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs Potential regional savings: • Saving in electricity use over the period 2015-2030 would total about 3.41 million MWh (3,410 GWh) • Saving in electricity generated would be about 15% higher, due to transmission and distribution losses (3,920 GWh) • About $ 1,019 million US (USD) in fuel costs avoided • Capital, operation and maintenance savings total USD 153 million 

  14. Regional status report on efficient lighting in PICTs Potential regional savings: • The net present value (NPV) is USD 626 million (7% discount rate) • Fuel imports 1.35 million kilolitres (1.35 gigalitres) • Avoided Greenhouse gas emissions 3.72 million tonnes

  16. STRATEGY DOCUMENT - PELS Integrated policy approach for strategy development:

  17. STRATEGY DOCUMENT - PELS Each component has: objectives, expected outcomes, outputs, activities, timelines and implementing agencies Strategy covers lighting end uses in residential, commercial, government buildings, street and outdoor lighting Goal: to transform lighting markets in PICTs toward energy-efficient, high-quality and more environmentally sound lighting technologies.

  18. STRATEGY DOCUMENT - PELS Implementation approach

  19. 2016-17 Phase I – Building the technical and regulatory foundation for lighting transition 2017-18 Phase II – Implementing the recommended efficient lighting activities and measures 2019-20 Phase III – Upgrading and harmonising integratedlighting policies in PICTs Minimum energy performance standards • Conduct reviews of internationally-recognised MEPS and prepare recommendations • Conduct impact assessment in each PICT and determine appropriateness upgrading MEPS • Complete adoption of AS/NZS lighting MEPS in the first tier PICTs • Upgrade and harmonise MEPS (ILs, CFLs, LFLs and LED lamps) per recommendations from Phase II • Accelerate adoption of MEPS in the second and third tier PICTs • Review and consider off-grid MEPS in the PICTs Supporting policies and mechanisms • Implement capacity building programmes at regional and national levels • Implement the communication strategy at national levels • Design and develop measures for sectoral lighting improvements in each participating country, including communication strategy, financial schemes, and capacity building programmes • Implement selected financial schemes at national levels • Develop compulsory funding scheme for governments to allocate a portion of the national budget for promotion of efficient lighting • Review suitable financing mechanisms Monitoring, verification and enforcement • Develop standards and labelling (S&L) legislations in first and second tier PICTs • Validate scope of the regional registration system • Review and recommend HS codes for lighting product in PICTs • Prioritise gravity of violations against laws and reflect in S&L legislations • Develop the regional registration system • Establish enforcement schemes in the PICTs • Implement market surveillance activities in PICTs where MEPS have been introduced • Develop product registration system based on the Australian system • Establish partnership agreements with accredited testing facilities • Develop market surveillance plans • Develop and implement training activities for operation and maintenance of the regional registration system • Conduct capacity building programmes for relevant MVE officials Environmentally sound management • Establish voluntary agreements with importers promoting environmentally sound lighting products • Assist in adopting and ratifying the Minamata convention on Mercury in PICTs • Review existing waste management legislations • Identify preventive actions to reduce environmental risks • Evaluate utilisation and management of lamp waste management facilities in PICTs • Enhance capacity of stakeholders involved in environmentally sound storage and disposal facilities in PICTs, and provide recommendations and guidelines for any new facilities needed • Assess used lamp market size, collection mechanisms, stakeholders capacity • Develop a lamp waste management strategy and conduct pilot implementation of lamp waste management in selected PICTs

  20. IMPLEMENTATION COSTS • Approximately US$5.8 million total cost • 65% of this proposed budget will be secured from international and bilateral donor agencies and development banks to support technical assistance, direct expenses for regional activities and seed funds for financial mechanisms and demonstration projects. • 35% will be in-kind and cash contributions from PICTs for implementation of relevant in-country activities.
