The SEDREA project was intended to contribute to, at least in the reduction of the growth rate of GHG emissions from diesel-based power generation in Palau. The project purpose was the facilitation of the reduction of imported fossil fuel consumption through the widespread application of Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) not only to meet the electricity needs of the country but also provide the other energy requirements for productive uses in the other major sectors of the national economy. The main outcome of the project was the effective utilization, and realization of benefits from the use, of the country’s feasible Renewable Energy (RE) resources.
