As a small island developing state, the Republic of Palau sought to wean itself off its dependence on fossil fuel for power, which accounts for 99.7% of the country’s power generation. To address this issue, Palau invited Solar Pacific Energy Corporation (SPEC), Alternergy’s solar developer, to develop a clean, renewable energy source..
•Palau has committed renewable energy targets (RETs), driven by the nation's reliance on high-cost diesel generation and strong environmental principles. •The supply of affordable and clean renewable energy development is fundamental to achieve Palau’sgoals..
solar energy, as compared to a daily peak demand of 9–10 MW.8 The first 6.5-kW grid-connected solar project on the Public Works Department building was funded by Japan in 2008. Notable solar installations include Palau’s largest solar project, a 226.8-kW system installed at the Palau International.
comprised of a 15.28-megawatt peak capacity solar photovoltaic facility and a 12.9-megawatt hour battery energy storage system. With construction completed in 2023, it’s among the largest hybrid facilities of its kind in the Pacific. The plant enables Palau to generate up to 20 per cent of its energy requirements through [pdf]
