sources of energy, especially solar PV systems in Palau. In 2011, GoJ provided a grant of ~ US$ 5 million for installation of a 227 kW solar PV system at Palau International Airport.8 The solar PV system generates close to 250 MWh of renewable energy accounting for 15% of the electricity demand for powering the airport facilities.

Palau reaches 20% renewable energy goal

Before connecting with the IPP, about 6% of Palau''s renewable energy came from rooftop solar panels. With the solar farm, the total renewable energy now represents 20 to 25% of the total energy output. In 2015, Palau''s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) in the energy sector included a 45% renewable energy target by the year 2025.

Republic of Palau inks PPA for 100-MW solar-powered microgrid

The Republic of Palau has signed a 30-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Electro Power Systems SA (EPA:EPS), or Engie EPS, for a 100-MW solar-powered microgrid project. The so-called Armonia project involves installing a 35-MW dispatchable solar power plant with 45 MWh of energy storage, coupled with existing diesel generation. EPS
