Established in 1966, 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.
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.

Maybe all three! This ambitious initiative isn''t just about stacking batteries on a tropical island – it''s a blueprint for how small nations can punch above their weight in the renewable energy
This expansion added 5MW of upgraded solar capacity along with 2MW of energy storage batteries, making it the first integrated solar-storage power station in Samoa and the entire South Pacific region.
Using phase change material (PCM) to improve the solar energy capacity of glass in solar collectors by enhancing their thermal performance via developed MD approach.
This chapter examines both the potential of and barriers to off-grid energy storage as a key asset to satisfy electricity needs of individual households, small communities, and
As Samoa accelerates its transition to renewable energy, industrial and commercial energy storage systems have become vital for businesses seeking reliable power solutions.
