16 December 2009, Majuro- Two agreements, namely the Exchange of Notes and Grant Agreement between the Governments of Japan and the Republic of the Marshall Islands regarding the ¥530 Million (YEN) to contribute to the Implementation of the Project for the Introduction of Clean Energy by Solar Electricity Generation System were signed today at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As part of its continued efforts in addressing short-, medium-, and long-term energy needs of the RMI, the RMI Government has been engaging with the Government of Japan on renewable energy projects in the RMI. The Government of Japan, through Japan’s Cool Earth Partnership, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and promote clean energy, has agreed to provide a grant of ¥530 Million (YEN) to install a grid connected solar electricity generation system for the Majuro Hospital. The Solar to Grid Project compliments the RMI National Policy as it entails that provision of 20% of energy through indigenous renewable resources by 2020. Implementation of the Project will contribute to reducing fuel consumption and to supply stable energy in RMI and prevent global warming by reduction of GHG.
The project site for the Grid-Connected solar electricity generation system will be the Leroij Atma Zedkaia Medical Center, specifically on the roof of the Majuro hospital.
The Exchange of Notes was signed by the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Honorable Amenta Matthew, on behalf of the RMI Government, and Honorable Dr. Kazuyuki Ohdaira, Charge d’ Affaires of the Japan Embassy. The signing of the Grant Agreement was followed by RMI’s Acting Minister of Resources and Development, the Honorable Maynard Alfred, and Mr. Kazuo Senga, Resident Representative for the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
