Renewable Energy: Niue has completed Phase Two of its solar project at Hikufenoga, adding generation and battery storage to cut diesel reliance and strengthen energy security. Prime Minister Dalton Tagelagi says more investment is needed for grid upgrades, storage, cleaner transport and local technical skills. Climate Resilience Finance: ADB and the Green Climate Fund have launched a programme seeking to mobilise more than US$1 billion across 14 Pacific island economies to protect roads, water supplies, power systems and coastal infrastructure from rising seas and storms. Fuel Costs: Pacific fuel costs reached NZ$935 million in the first six months of the regional crisis, according to New Zealand briefings. The briefings identify renewable generation and energy efficiency as key ways to reduce reliance on imported fuel.
