Samoa Eyes Multi-Million Dollar Solar Deal After Year of Power
The upgrade will bring in high-efficiency solar panels, expected to generate 9.6 gigawatt-hours of clean energy a year and slash nearly 2,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Sun Pacific Energy Ltd (SPEL) have signed a US$2.8 million (approximately AU$4.3 million) loan to expand renewable energy generation in Samoa. The financing will upgrade and expand SPEL's Upolu Solar Farm—Samoa's first independent power producer (IPP)—by installing high-efficiency solar panels.
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 financing will upgrade and expand SPEL's Upolu Solar Farm—Samoa's first independent power producer (IPP)—by installing high-efficiency solar panels. The expansion is expected to deliver 9.6 gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually and cut carbon dioxide emissions by a further 1,944 tonnes.
The new expansion is expected to generate 9.6 gigawatt-hours of clean energy per year and reduce an additional 1,944 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. SPEL is Samoa's first independent power producer (IPP) and has a 20-year power purchase agreement with Electric Power Corporation, a government-owned national utility.
