ADB, Samoa Sign Landmark Agreement for Solar Power Projects
MANILA, PHILIPPINES (9 December 2024) — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has signed a transaction advisory services agreement with Samoa''s Electric Power Corporation (EPC) to
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 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 plant, located at Faleolo International Airport, operates under a 20-year power purchase agreement with the state-owned Electric Power Corporation. Samoa has faced mounting pressure on its power grid, with prolonged outages caused by generator failures, storm damage, and surging demand.
The initiative will involve the expansion of solar farms, battery storage systems, and energy efficiency programs to support domestic and commercial energy needs. Samoa currently relies heavily on imported diesel for electricity generation, making it vulnerable to fluctuating global oil prices.
