Energy efficiency has received a new shot in the arm in China recently, with applications in solar energy innovations. This initiative will hopefully reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels in the world’s 2nd largest economy.
The experimental area for massive implementation in the short run of the clean energy initiative is Shandong province. Accordingly, Shandong has the 2nd largest industrial potential in the entire China, so prepositioning clean energy this early will surely be a boost to cleaner air when the manufacturing concerns will be in full throttle in the province.
TONGA UPGRADING ICT CABLES, KUDOS!
Erle Frayne D. Argonza
A gladdening news has been released recently from Manila, headquarters of ADB, concerning the Kingdom of Tonga’s upgrading of its ICT services.
The expanded ICT services will be enabled through an 827-kilometer cable that will link Tonga and Fiji Republic. The said ICT services will surely be a big boost to Tonga’s economy and accelerate its resonance with the dynamic emerging markets of Asia.
Below is the update report on the subject from the Asian Development Bank.

ADB to Help Boost Affordable, Accessible ICT Services in Tonga
23 Aug 2011
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is assisting the people of the Kingdom of Tonga to gain high-speed internet access by financing the development of a submarine cable system.
The ADB Board of Directors today approved grant funds of $9.7 million to help finance the establishment and operation of an 827-kilometer submarine cable system from Tonga to the Republic of Fiji which will provide widely accessible information and communication technology (ICT) services.
The new ICT services the cable will bring will improve Tonga’s economic performance and delivery of public services. The Tonga to Fiji Submarine Cable Project aims to improve existing business efficiency and create new business opportunities, especially in the ICT sector. The cable technology will boost telecommunications, computer, information, maintenance and repair services. It will also allow ICT-based education, health, and government services to overcome the small island country’s challenges – distance and scarce human resources.
The project is estimated to cost $32.8 million and is being co-financed by the World Bank Group and Tonga Cable Limited.
The fiber optic cable will connect Tonga to the Southern Cross Cable, the main trans-Pacific link between Australia and the United States. It will generate economic opportunities and social benefits starting mid 2013 when the cable is in place.
“The project aims to deliver good quality, affordable broadband internet to Tonga’s population of 100,000,” said Robert Wihtol, Director General of ADB’s Pacific Department. “In addition to the positive socioeconomic impact of the initiative, the project will contribute to regional integration.”
The cable will increase the frequency and quality of communications among countries in the region, encouraging trade in services, and will allow the region to form a sizeable market for digital products and services.
Tonga’s Ministry of Finance and National Planning will be the executing agency for the project, which should be completed by 2016.
