How does Palau manage energy eficiency?

Palau initiated energy eficiency efforts to reduce governmen-tal energy use through its Energy Conservation Strategy in 2007.

What is the optimal power system for Palau?

The optimal system includes the current power system together with additional renewable capacity coupled with battery storage. The results of the optimisation show that Palau’s current power system is dominated by diesel generation, with renewable energy only taking a small share (just 4%).

Does Palau have a renewable power system?

The results of the optimisation show that Palau’s current power system is dominated by diesel generation, with renewable energy only taking a small share (just 4%). With more deployment, however, the share taken by renewables could potentially increase to more than 92%. This corresponds to the lowest average system LCOE.

Does Palau have solar power?

Together with a large amount of diesel generation, Palau also has some installed solar PV capacity. Indeed, the country’s current renewable energy capacity includes a total of 2.5 MW of utility-scale solar PV systems (see Table 3).

Does Palau have a national energy policy?

The Republic of Palau endorsed its National Energy Policy (NEP) in 2010. An Energy Sector Strategic Action Plan formed a guiding document for implementation of this policy.

What is the Palau energy roadmap?

The roadmap includes several detailed scenarios based on the data and information provided by the Palau Energy Administration (PEA). The data were used to calibrate the model by first looking at the country’s current power system, with this serving as the foundation for the other subsequent scenarios analysed in the study.
