Appropriate energy technology (AET) programs funded by DOE are described. Specific grants made to Satawan Island, Romanum Island, Guam, Yap, Saipan, and American Samoa are described in detail; all made use of solar energy. Rising petroleum prices have disrupted the economy of these island territories and alternate energy sources are needed. Lack of information, remoteness, lack of infrastructure, and failure to involve local governments have hindered AET development. It is pointed out that some projects have achieved success with good local direction, use of local materials and labor, and a discrete goal. Future AET projects should enjoy greater success and the lessons learned in the Pacific may be helpful in AET projects elsewhere in the developing world. 34 references. (MJJ)
