Vanuatu national energy policy framework : DRAFT - ADB Country Strategy and programme update 2005-2006

Abstract

The development of a National Energy Policy Framework for Vanuatu is of high priority. Given the high dependence of Vanuatu on imported petroleum fuels and their associated escalating prices, it is imperative for the Government to put in place a national energy policy framework that not only address the adverse impacts of such high prices on the economy and the people but also provides a long term development plan for the energy sector. The ultimate goal is the provision of reliable and affordable energy services to all people in Vanuatu.
