Niue Energy: Niue has completed Phase Two of its renewable energy project at Hikufenoga, expanding solar generation and battery storage to cut diesel reliance and improve energy security. Prime Minister Dalton Tagelagi says more investment is needed for grid upgrades, storage, cleaner transport and local technical skills. Pacific Infrastructure: ADB and the Green Climate Fund have launched a programme aiming to mobilise more than US$1 billion across 14 Pacific island economies, with grants already approved to help protect roads, water supplies, power systems and coastal infrastructure from climate impacts. Fuel Costs: Pacific fuel costs rose by NZ$935 million in the first six months of the regional crisis, according to New Zealand briefings, strengthening calls to reduce reliance on imported fuel through renewable power and energy efficiency.
