Abstract
Energy security is a major issue for policy makers, particularly in small energy dependent developing countries which
source most of their energy requirements externally. Fiji relies heavily on non-renewable sources for energy supply despite government’s continued efforts to increase energy
sourced from renewable energy technologies. We note that
only 31% of energy in Fiji has been sourced from renewable
energy technologies; this falls far short of the desired renewable energy target of 90%. This paper examines Fiji’s performance in using price policy to change the energy use behavior.
