This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Palau, an independent island nation geographically located in the Micronesia region. Over 97% of the island's electricity production is dependent on imported fossil fuels, primarily diesel. Palau is aiming for 45% renewable energy generation by 2025, and is striving to overcome technological, financial, and institutional capacity challenges to meet this goal.
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Guam, an island territory of the United States located in the western Pacific Ocean. Like many island nations, Guam is highly dependent on imported fossil fuels - nearly all the island's electricity is generated using imported petroleum products. This leaves it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that can directly impact the cost of electricity.
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, an island country and a United States associated state near the equator in the Pacific Ocean. Geographically, the country is part of the larger island group of Micronesia. The Marshall Islands electricity rates for residential customers average $0.36 U.S. dollars (USD) per kilowatt-hour (kWh), nearly 3 times the average U.S. residential rate of $0.13 USD/kWh.
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), a sovereign nation and U.S.-associated state in the western Pacific Ocean. The FSM is made up of more than 600 islands, which presents a significant challenge of delivering electricity to people living on outer islands. The country is striving to overcome electricity access needs, reduce high energy costs, and ensure energy security. Currently, almost all of the electricity produced in Micronesia is dependent upon imported petroleum based fossil fuels, with some solar photovoltaic systems in operation.
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a commonwealth in political union with the United States that is located in the northern Pacific Ocean. CNMI's electricity rates for residential customers range from $0.21 to $0.35 U.S. dollars (USD) per kilowatt-hour (kWh), above the average U.S. residential rate of $0.13 USD/kWh.
This profile presents a snapshot of the electricity generation and reduction technologies available to Turks and Caicos - a British overseas territory consisting of two groups of islands located southeast of the Bahamas.
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) - St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. The Virgin Islands archipelago makes up the northern portion of the Lesser Antilles and the western island group of the Leeward Islands, forming the border between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of St Vincent and the Grenadines - islands between the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago.
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Trinidad and Tobago, a two-island nation located off the coast of Venezuela. Trinidad and Tobago's electricity rates are some of the lowest in the Caribbean at approximately $0.05 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), well below the regional average of $0.34/kWh.
This is a snapshot of the energy landscape of Suriname, a country on the northeastern Atlantic coast of South America. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, French Guiana to the east, Guyana to the west and Brazil to the south.
This profile provides a snapshot of the electricity capacity and generation profile of Saint Lucia, one of six Caribbean countries that make up the Windward Islands - the southern arc of the Lesser Antilles chain - at the eastern end of the Caribbean Sea.
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Guadeloupe, an overseas region of France located in the eastern Caribbean Sea. Guadeloupe has set a target to achieve 100% energy independence by 2030. As of 2018, 21% of Guadeloupe's electricity was generated by renewable energy.
