Plans to increase generation capacity include the Tina River Hydropower Development Project, and a geothermal resource-based project on Savo Island (about 35 km offshore from Honiara). The Tina River Hydropower Development Project involves the construction of a 20 MW run-of-the-river hydropower facility to supply electricity to the capital city of Honiara. The facility is to be developed on a build-own-operate-transfer basis by an independent power producer. The producer will sell the power to SIEA under a power purchase agreement.

Trade-related measures aimed at preventing and combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing are implemented in line with the provisions of CITES and CCAMLR (Convention of the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources), according to the authorities. Ukraine has adopted a CCAMLR document on catching toothfish (prohibiting gill-netting) and issues CITES certificates for trade in sturgeon species and products. In 2012, Ukraine implemented the Confirmation of Legality of Removal of Aquatic Biological Resources from their Habitats and Fishing Products Processing (an equivalent to the EU's catch certification scheme) to minimize IUU fishing.
