This Tuvalu National Energy Policy (TNEP) is the first ever produced in an attempt to clearly define  and  direct  current  and  future  energy  developments  and  usages  throughout  Tuvalu. TNEP was developed by the Energy Department and SOPAC following successive consultation workshops that were conducted by a Technical Assistant from SOPAC and energy stakeholders on Funafuti in 2005. The Tuvalu National Energy Policy Framework sets out the Government’s policies for the planning and management of the energy sector over the next 15 years. The framework defines the strategies that Government is taking to ensure that the objectives of the policies are fully realised.
