Reliable, Affordable and sustainable energy, enabling the socio-economic development of Nauru, Energy Policy Framework

Abstract

The Nauru National Energy Policy Framework (NEPF) has been developed through a consultative process involving stakeholders from the public sector, private sector and civil society groups. The policy framework provides a guideline for the development of the energy sector in Nauru for the immediate future and mid and long term. It has been developed under an integrated planning approach, with the view that the energy policy is only one of the many policy instruments that is being put in place by the Government to ensure that the Nauru economy develops to its full capacity given the many challenges facing the country. The policy framework adheres to the principle of partnerships. It is therefore essential that the involvement of the private sector and civil society groups in the implementation of the policy framework be encouraged. The NEPF is driven by its vision statement: “Reliable, affordable and sustainable energy, enabling the socio-economic development of Nauru.”
