UNIDO supported the establishment of the Pacific Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (PCREEE), which was inaugurated on 26 April 2017 in Nuku’alofa, Tonga, at the margins of the Third Pacific Regional Energy and Transport Ministers’ Meeting. The center works towards integrated and inclusive markets for sustainable energy products and services by promoting economies of scale and equal progress between countries through regional exchange, tools and methodologies. PCREEE has a strong private sector mandate and promotes activities with high relevance for domestic businesses, entrepreneurs and industry.
Recently, PCREEE has adopted its new Business Plan 2021-2030, which has a strong focus on sustainable energy for productive uses, clean tech entrepreneurship and innovation, electric mobility and energy efficiency for productive sectors. Climate resilience, gender and COVID-19 recovery are important cross-cutting areas. In cooperation with UNIDO and other international partners, PCREEE has built up a pipeline for programs and projects. Promising new initiatives include the Pacific E-Mobility Policy and Program, as well as a Pacific Climate-resilient Green Ports Program.
Under the GN-SEC platform, UNIDO is facilitating SIDS-SIDS and triangular cooperation with other regional centres of the network. PCREEE works closely with the Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE will), based in Barbados, and the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), based in Cabo Verde, on joint SIDS energy issues and solutions.
To strengthen the technical portfolio of the PCREEE and to boost project-based partnerships with other GN-SEC centres, UNIDO is seeking flexible consulting support for the development of project concepts and documents to be submitted to bilateral and multilateral donors for approval, (i.e. the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the Adaptation Fund, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), etc.).
