What is Tonga's energy policy?Energy: The country’s main energy policy is theTonga Energy Roadmap 2010-2020 (TERM) – “A 10-year roadmap to reduce Tonga’s vulnerability to oil price shocks and achieve an increase in quality access to modern energy services in an environmentally sustainable manner” (GoT, 2010).
Can Australia help secure Tonga's outer island energy needs?Australia also has a long history of engagement in relation to helping secure Tonga’s outer island energy needs. In the early 2000s, Australia funded the Ha’apai Outer Islands Electrification project (HOIEP), which involved the installation of diesel-powered generators and electrical reticulation on four islands in the Ha’apai group.
Can Tonga achieve universal access to electricity by 2021?Tonga is on track to achieve universal access to electricity by 2021. Theruralelectrification programme in Tonga should be based on renewable off-grid generation. The NEXSTEP analysis recommends off-grid renewable energy systems, e.g., RE-based mini-grid or solar home systems to improve climate resilience.
Can Tonga achieve 100 per cent access to electricity?Achieving universal access to electricity is a priority for the Government of Tonga, The Tonga Energy Roadmap (TERM) states that Tonga should achieve 100 per cent access to electricityby 2020 (Government of Tonga, 2010). Achievement of this target is crucial to meet the Government’s primary target of “poverty alleviation”.
How can Tonga achieve the SDGs?Universal access to clean cooking fuels and technologies is achieved by 2030, by implementing an LPG cooking stove programme in Tonga. Renewable energy targets of 50 per cent by 2021 and 70 per cent by 2030 in electric power generation are achieved. TheSDGenergyeciencytargetof.
