The project are located at the Fiaga Power Station and the Faleolo International Airport on the main island for a total of 13.5 MWh of energy storage capacity.
Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa’ilele Malielegaoi commented on the new project via Samoa Observer, “Without the new battery energy storage systems and micro grid controller, the system will not be able to operate efficiently with such a high percentage of solar penetration in Samoa of 55 percent,”
Samoa is rapidly transitioning from a fossil fuel-based energy industry to renewable energy.
