Why should American Samoa invest in solar energy?
Positioned less than 1,000 miles south of the equator, American Samoa is uniquely positioned to harness its abundant solar energy resources. BESS projects will be critical for American Samoa to achieve its renewable energy goals by maximizing solar utilization, reducing dependence on imported fuels, and ensuring a safe, reliable grid.
What is a solar project in Samoa & Tutuila?
The three projects, deployed on American Samoa islands of Tutuila and Aunu’u, will have installed capacities of 4 MW/8 MWh, 5 MW/10 MWh, and 1 MW/2 MWh. All three projects will support ramp rate control to smooth and limit fluctuations in solar photovoltaic (PV) power output, ensuring reliable renewable integration and grid stability.
What is Samoa's energy mandate?
The mandate also includes addressing critical environmental, social, and gender considerations to ensure the project’s sustainability and inclusiveness. Samoa currently relies on imported fossil fuels for approximately 69% of its electricity generation, leaving the country vulnerable to volatile oil prices.
Why did the American Samoa power authority choose eastern power solutions?
The American Samoa Power Authority selected Eastern Power Solutions with the EVLO BESS to enhance the delivery of safe, reliable, and clean power to the local community. ASPA is a development-oriented public utility providing electricity, water, wastewater, and solid waste services to about 50,000 residents.
Who owns ADB in Samoa?
Established in , it is owned by 69 members—49 from the region. ADB has signed a transaction advisory services agreement with Samoa’s Electric Power Corporation (EPC) to support the development of a solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems with installations planned for the country’s two largest islands, Upolu and Savai’i.
Does American Samoa use fossil fuels?
ASPA is a development-oriented public utility providing electricity, water, wastewater, and solid waste services to about 50,000 residents. American Samoa uses imported fossil fuels for almost all of the territory’s energy needs, including transportation, drinking and wastewater treatment, and most of its electric power generation.
