By Anare Matakiviti Off-grid electrification for development of small islands represents a number of unique challenges under the broad category of rural electrification. Small, off-grid island communities are particularly vulnerable to diesel price fluctuations and natural disasters, and thus, enhancing resilience through more sustainable and cheaper energy technologies should be a key priority. Financing the transition to these technologies – usually photovoltaic, micro-hydro or sometimes wind – is an essential hurdle to overcome. Once electricity systems are in place it is equally important that they are sustained in the longer term with effective arrangements for operation and maintenance, cost recovery etc. Related to this, is the productive use of the energy provided to increase islander incomes. The workshop on Bunaken Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia from 3 to 5 November 2015, organised by the Smart Villages Initiative in collaboration with Kopernik, will explore these issues and develop recommendations for policy makers, development agencies and other stakeholders in energy provision to island communities.

- 21. International Union for Conservation of Nature A case study Fiji Correction Services Naboro Institutional Biogas Plant
- 22. International Union for Conservation of Nature Naboro Biogas Plant The Problem • About FJD$48,000 worth of LPG bought annually • Mangrove for fuel wood = FJD$5,500/year • Depletion of mangrove • 700kg of pig waste + 300kg of kitchen waste discharged into the local stream daily Ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss – fauna population • Unhealthy work environment
- 23. International Union for Conservation of Nature Naboro Biogas Plant Solution • Build a biogas plant and bottling facility for biogas • Plant can generate 40 to 50 m3 of biogas a day - equivalent to 16-20 kg of LPG • Bottling the Biogas enables the other Prisons to benefit from the Naboro Project 700 pigs growing to 1000 Gas Cylinders Naboro Creek Gas Compressor Artificial Wetland Biogas Plant
- 24. International Union for Conservation of Nature Upskilling Requirements Skill needs • Design and construction • Operation and maintenance • Management • Commercial aspects • EIA • Linkages between biogas plant and ecosystem • Potential CC impacts on biogas project • Economic value of ecosystems • Knowledge products • Communication • Correction Services Management • Naboro Prison personnel • Officers and prisoners running the piggery and biogas plant Who needs upskilling
- 25. International Union for Conservation of Nature Benefits • Replacement of $ 48,000 worth of LPG annually • Retention of $5,500 worth of mangroves annually • Cleaner discharge into Creek = cleaner seas • Return of creek fauna populations • Improve livelihoods of people downstream • Cleaner work environment with related health benefits for piggery staff • Estimated organic fertiliser of 100 kg a day can be produced – back into the prison farms
- 26. International Union for Conservation of Nature Lessons Learnt • Improve access to energy services to all • Communities engaged in management of environment and natural resources • Community governance systems reinforced to involve gender and strengthen existing systems • Capacity development • Economic efficiency, social equity and environment sustainability critical to any project • Appropriate technology, policy & regulations • Long term funding mechanisms • Low carbon - sustainable development pathway • Start small – doable • Partnerships approach
