The first New Caledonia Energy Transition Plan (2016-2021) sets out 91 measures to encourage the energy transition of provinces and municipalities. The measures are in the form of practical sheets that detail the actors involved (private or public), an estimated cost, and a phasing in the short, medium, and long term, aiming to ensure the coherence of the plan. It was established by New Caledonia’s local government.
