The 2.1 mega watt solar plant is owned by Solar Samoa and it will boost Samoa’s aim to achieve 100 percent renewable energy by 2017.
"Once this project is completed, along with the final ones in Faleolo, we will save $1,900,000 Tala worth of diesel being imported to Samoa," said Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi at the launch yesterday.
The total cost of the project is about $6,000,000 tala and it will produce five per cent of electricity to homes in Samoa.
