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 expanded solar farm is projected to generate 9.6 gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,944 tons each year. SPEL, Samoa’s first independent power producer (IPP), operates under a 20-year power purchase agreement with the government-owned Electric Power Corporation.
