ADB is providing support for the rehabilitation and expansion of power sector infrastructure, improvement in electricity access rates, expansion of renewable energy generation, and improving efficiency of energy use. ADB is currently implementing energy sector projects in 11 Pacific countries (the Cook Islands, Fiji, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Timor-Leste, and Vanuatu).
