6 FAQs about [Palau Solar Power Generation Policy]

How much solar PV is needed in Palau?

The results show that on top of the 2.5 MW of solar PV currently present in Palau, an additional 83 MW of solar PV and 20 MW of wind turbines would be required for such a system. Furthermore, this scenario would necessitate a battery storage system of 168 MWh and battery inverters of 34 MW.

Does Palau have solar power?

Source: PPUC and PEA data (n.d.). 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).

What is the Palau solar battery project?

The Palau Solar Battery Project will be the largest such project in the Western Pacific. It will lessen Palau’s imported fuel dependency, a major step towards its ambitious goal of 100%.

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.

How can Palau achieve a 100% share of renewables by 2050?

A key recommendation for the government, if it is to achieve its proposed target of a 100% share for renewables by 2050, is to accelerate deployment of solar PV and battery storage systems through a combination of Palau Public Utilities Corporation (PPUC) investments and power purchase agreements (PPAs).

How much electricity does Palau need?

The load had a scaled annual average of 26 250 kWh/day, with a storage capacity of 94 500 kWh and peak load of 8 325 kW. The EV load increased Palau’s total demand even further, from 120 GWh/year in the previous scenario to 127 GWh/year. Moreover, this scenario showed excess electricity generation of 40 GWh/year.
