This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, an island country and a United States associated state near the equator in the Pacific Ocean. Geographically, the country is part of the larger island group of Micronesia.
The Marshall Islands Program was established in 1977 by the Energy Research and Development Administration, the predecessor Agency to the Department of Energy (DOE). The program is the U.S. response to the legacy of nuclear testing that occurred in the Republic of the Marshall Islands from 1946 to 1958.
In planning and implementing investments in its energy sector, the Marshall Islands should be guided by the following: (i) Diversify energy and electricity fuel mix by increasing the use of
The Republic of the Marshall Islands has resolved to improve its energy security and contribute to combatting climate change based on a balanced portfolio of indigenous renewable energy resources. The country''s Renewables Readiness Assessment (RRA), undertaken in co-operation with the International
developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided

"The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) submitted its second NDC in 2018 at COP 24 in Katowice, making it the first country in the world to do so. The revised NDC set binding targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 32 percent below 2010 levels in or before 2025 and by 45 percent before 2030.
"To be the leading provider of renewable energy for our geographic service region and a model for other Island nations."

Marshall Islands: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen country across all of the key metrics on this topic.
In planning and implementing investments in its energy sector, the Marshall Islands should be guided by the following: (i) Diversify energy and electricity fuel mix by increasing the use of solar PV renewable
“The Marshalls Energy Company is a semi-autonomous utility company responsible for the generation, distribution and sale of electricity on a number of islands and atolls within the Republic of the Marshall Islands.”
MEC, KAJUR, the College of the Marshall Islands and the University of the South Pacific, all carry out capacity building in support of energy activities. Most of the primary energy supply (90%) comes from petroleum, with biomass used for cooking accounting for nearly all the rest.
Two 53 kWp and 57 kWp systems are at the College of the Marshall Islands. The others are a 10 kWp system at the fisheries base, a 30 kWp system at the University of the South Pacific campus and a 209 kWp system at Majuro hospital. MEC intends to move cautiously before allowing a major expansion of grid-connected solar generation.
As a result, the company has moved cautiously towards adopting grid-connected solar systems that do not include energy storage. So far it has only allowed five grid-connected solar installations without storage. Two 53 kWp and 57 kWp systems are at the College of the Marshall Islands. The others are a
This led to the endorsement of the 2009 National Energy Policy, along with the Energy Action Plan, which aims for “an improved quality of life for the people of the Marshall Islands through clean, reliable, afordable, accessible, environmentally appropriate and sustainable energy services.”
Electricity Sector. MEC and KAJUR supply all electricity. The Marshall Islands has no electricity law or regulator and no private generators licensed to sell electricity. Its electrification rate is approaching 100% based on the number of on-grid and off-grid customers and the average household size of 6.8 persons.
