Who is launching Palau's first solar PV + battery energy storage system?

Alternergy Holdings Corp. and its subsidiary Solar Pacific Energy Corporation have inaugurated Palau's first solar PV + battery energy storage system (BESS) project, marking a significant milestone in the region.

What is the Palau solar project?

The Palau Solar project is delivering low emissions and climate resilient infrastructure alongside robust environmental and social standards. Australia, through the AIFFP, has provided AUD31 million in financing to Solar Pacific Pristine Power to support the construction of Palau’s first utility-scale solar and battery energy storage facility.

What will Palau's solar PV project do?

The project, which is also Palau’s first grid-scale solar PV plant, will contribute significantly to the country’s nationally self-determined contribution to meeting global climate targets as agreed in the Paris Accord. These include reaching 35% renewable energy, and reducing energy sector emissions to 22% below 2005 levels, by 2025.

Does Palau rely on fossil fuels?

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.
