The Palau Solar PV + Battery Storage Project will provide up to 23,000 MWh of clean and renewable power to Palau, representing more than 20 percent of its annual energy demand, to help achieve its renewable energy target of 45 percent by 2025.
As there is no battery storage system currently present in Palau, the panels can only generate throughout the day when the sun is available, and no electricity can be stored for later use. Furthermore, the figure also confirms that Palau’s current power system is widely dominated by fossil fuel generation.
Alternergy Holdings Corp. and its subsidiary Solar Pacific Energy Corporation have inaugurated Palau's first solar PV + battery energy storage system (BESS) project, marking a significant milestone in the region.
With a capacity of 15.3 MWp solar PV and 12.9 MWh BESS, the project supports Palau's goal of achieving a 45% renewable energy share by 2025. The project's total investment of USD 29 million contributes to Palau's energy independence, clean power generation, carbon emissions reduction, and local employment opportunities.
In conclusion, by following the recommendations outlined in this roadmap, the Republic of Palau will be on the road to achieving a fully decarbonised power system, based on solar and wind power for electricity and transport and supported by battery storage and green hydrogen. 1.
