Sustainable river movement Pacific

Objective

Implement an energy supply program based on NCRE (Non-Conventional Renewable Energy Sources) to provide electricity to communities in Non-Interconnected Zones (NIZ) of the Pacific region, electrifying households and promoting electric river mobility.

Key Goals

• Conduct a census of the target population.
• Establish mechanisms for the delivery of electric motors.
• Develop generation infrastructure with micro hydroelectric plants.
• Establish charging infrastructure.
• Fine-tune the system.

Market Opportunity

River transport, although it represents a small share of national energy consumption (0.15%), is vital for the Pacific communities. This project addresses the need for sustainable transportation and energy access in Non-Interconnected Zones, transforming quality of life and strengthening local economies (fishing, tourism).

ESG Considerations

Environmental: Decarbonization of the river transport sector and electrification of communities with NCRE.
Social: Community transformation, socio-environmental approach, capacity building, and strengthening of local economies.
Governance: Long-term financial planning, promotion of public-private partnerships, strengthening of transparency, and fostering community participation.
