The government has also installed 12 fish processing and conservation centres and 300 water storage tanks.

This was revealed by Nauru President , Baron Waqa at the G7 Environment Ministers’ Meeting On, “Urgent Action and Reduction Opportunities” in Canada last week.

“Through a streamlined application process, the Committee has approved 37 initiatives worth a total of US$22 million.” 

International Finance Corporation initiative helps Pacific Business’ cut energy costs

Fiji Times reports the first phase of the project kicks off with a free energy report offered by SCS to businesses interested in calculating how much they can save if they switched to solar.  This report is targeted at commercial and industrial customers who pay commercial rates for electricity. The report, which is accessed after filling in a small online survey, shows the savings a solar system will generate for an organisation.
