The initiative will involve the expansion of solar farms, battery storage systems, and energy efficiency programs to support domestic and commercial energy needs. Samoa currently relies heavily on imported diesel for electricity generation, making it vulnerable to fluctuating global oil prices.
The project is part of Samoa's broader commitment to combat climate change and achieve energy independence. The new solar power project, developed with funding from international development partners including the Asian Development Bank (ADB), is expected to stabilise energy costs and increase energy security.
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.
