Coal developer @MayurResources conflict with the #PNG government continues to intensify with the Chairman of the National Energy Authority Mr Joseph Gabut saying "I do not see the need for coal in PNG".

@AusHCPNG Hope there's a strong O&M plan in place. We've had too many donor funded energy projects in the past that fall apart within months to a year simply because there's no plan in place to ensure systems are operated well and routinely maintained.

🌞 energy can support health in rural & remote communities by offering better access to clean water and cold chain storage, and improved WaSH solutions. In Oro, 47 rural health facilities now have off-grid electricity.

🗣 "If SUVs were an individual country, they would rank 6th in the world for absolute emissions in 2021, emitting over 900m tonnes of CO2."

Glad to assist in the facilitation of this important regional energy meet. Disappointing attendance from GoPNG as usual considering we are the largest in terms of population and land mass in PICTs.

More than 90 participants for a late evening workshop proves the interest in developing #sustainabletransport in the #Pacific

CRMF recently trialled a grid-connected PV system (zero export) in Lae for the EBC to mitigate the high cost and the unreliable supply. After a year, results show they can pay off the SMA-based system in 2 more years. I think they've proved that it's possible, even in rainy Lae!

Pacific media callout: I'm looking for a photographer based in Bougainville to do a paid shoot for the Guardian for a story. If that's you (or your friend) please send me an email: [email protected]

[Dirk Wagener 🇺🇳 @DirkWagenerUN]

Shocking news - we are dangerously close to 1.5 C warming by 2030. Code Red! We simply cannot proceed with business as usual.

[Nogat Coal PNG @NogatCoal]

Here in #PNG we can do our bit for the climate by preventing Australian coal developer @MayurResources from expanding into our country with their coal power plans and magnetite mines.

Mayur does not have the support of the communities they plan to pollute.

Informative #Pacific regional #energy sector meeting today to discuss #unenergycompacts. Eduardo Santagata and Manu Rawali ⁦⁦⁦@UNSW⁩ presented a comprehensive review of #PICs energy scene ⁦@upngcore⁩.

[UPNG CORE @upngcore]

The focus has been on electricity access, but a more important basic (energy) need of cooking is continuously been neglected which the majority of Papua New Guineans would find just as useful as lights.
