Palau has also launched a 178-kW solar and hybrid battery project, a 1 MW rooftop island project and will be launching a license for a 13 MW solar independent power producer (IPP) in 2021.24 15. However, certain PV solar system projects have been problematic and have been difficult to maintain.
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. The system offsets an estimated 80 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Palau is highly dependent on imported fuels for energy and faces significant challenges in delivering clean, secure, and affordable energy for all.
Consistent with the government's strategy, ADB assistance to Palau's energy sector focuses on energy reforms and renewable energy, which underpins the country's energy security and reducing its dependence on fossil fuels.
