UAE-Pacific Partnership Fund
Launched in 2013 by the UAE Minis-try of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the UAE-Pacific Partner-ship Fund aims to step up the UAE’s development cooperation with the Pa-cific island countries across a variety of sectors. The scheme supported renewable en-ergy projects in 11 countries through the allocation of grants with a total val-ue of US$50 million, financed by Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), and implemented by Masdar.
The programme included 10 solar photovoltaic (PV) projects and one wind farm with a total capacity ex-ceeding 6.5 MW to meet most of the islands’ energy needs.

About ADFD
ADFD was established in 1971 as part of the Abu Dhabi government’s efforts to support sustainable socio-economic development in the developing world.
Over the past four and half decades, the Fund has extended concessionary loans to developing countries across the globe to finance development projects.
ADFD focuses on sectors such as electricity, water, road infrastructure, healthcare, education and social services that play a key role in strengthening societies and economies through stimulating progress and improving quality of life.
In addition, the Fund manages government grants allocated to ventures that help drive growth in beneficiary countries.
ADFD’s responsibilities in this regard comprise direct supervision of projects, including implementation, operations and success evaluation.
The Fund also invests in the private sector to boost development across vital areas and create job opportunities for the local popu la t ion .

ADFD’s role in supporting renewable energy projects
Through the UAE-Pacific Partnership Fund, ADFD seeks to help the Pacific island countries achieve sustainable development through meeting their energy demands from clean resources.
The projects completed under the partnership have brought about significant social and economic benefits including reliable power supply to rural areas, development of local economies, job creation, and a considerable reduction in environmental pollution and CO2 emissions.
In addition to harnessing clean energy to assist the governments of beneficiary countries in fulfilling their strategic objectives, the solar and wind power projects ensure easy access to cost-effective electricity for the local population and support economic growth.

TONGASolar photovoltaic power plantUS$5 million
The 512 kW solar PV power plant on Vava’u Island meets over 17 per cent of the island’s electricity needs and 76 per cent of the country’s additional grid demand during peak hours. Completed in 2013, Tonga’s first large-scale renewable energy project pow-ers over 850 homes, saves more than 286,000 litres of diesel per year and reduces annual CO2 emissions by 724 tonnes.

SAMOAWind farm US$5.4 million
Samoa’s first wind farm was completed in September 2014 on Upolu Island. The bespoke design includes cy-clone-proof turbines – essential in the region where tropical cyclones are a common weather phenomenon – and optimally leverages favourable wind conditions.
Catering to the energy needs of the island that is home to the capital Apia as well as to 75 per cent of the coun-try’s population, the wind farm saves 183,000 litres of diesel every year and reduces Upolu’s annual carbon footprint through eliminating over 506 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

FIJISolar photovoltaic power plantsUS$4.38 million
With a combined generating capacity of 525 kW, the three microgrid solar power plants on Kadavu, Lakeba and Rotuma islands meet nearly half of the electricity needs of the islands as well as 90 per cent of additional grid de-mand during peak hours.
The project has increased the avail-ability of electricity from a previous range of 12 to18 hours per day to 24-hour access while saving 259,000 litres of diesel per year.
