National Energy Policy and Energy Action Plan
April 2016
Page | 1
This is a publication of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
The 2016 National Energy Policy was prepared by the Energy Planning Division of the
Ministry of Resources and Development with the technical assistance of the Energy
Programme of the Economic Development Division of the Secretariat of the Pacific
Community. This document was developed through extensive consultation within
government, development partners and the general public. It expresses the RMI’s
commitment towards a new energy direction and serves as the foundation for planning and
development in the energy sector over the medium term.
A special thanks for their generous assistance in preparing this document goes to Ms.
Angeline Heine, Mr. Walter Myazoe, Jr., Ms. Dolores deBrum-Kattil, the Secretariat of the
Pacific Community and the ADMIRE Program, as well as the many people and organization
listed in Annex 3 of this document.
The policy review and national consultations were further supported by the SPC/EU North
Pacific ACP Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Project (North-REP) and the EU Energy
Initiative Partnership Dialogue Facility (EUEI PDF).
