Mott MacDonald has supported RENOVA, Inc. in its 50% acquisition of American Samoa Hybrid Wind Project. Located on Tutuila Island in the Pacific Ocean, the American Samoa Hybrid Wind Project will feature a 42MW onshore wind farm and a 40MWh battery energy storage system.
As of June 2023, the UK has more than 2.4GW of installed battery storage capacity and a total pipeline of planned capacity exceeding 66GW. The size of each project has grown significantly each year with the largest segment of this
This factsheet provides a high-level overview of American Samoa''s power and transportation sectors - as well as territorial policies, challenges, and opportunities related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and resilience.
This is all thanks to one of the world''s most advanced microgrids, which combines solar panels with a huge array of batteries to store excess energy. It was designed and built by the newly Tesla

As of June 2023, the UK has more than 2.4GW of installed battery storage capacity and a total pipeline of planned capacity exceeding 66GW. The size of each project has grown significantly each year with the largest segment of this pipeline now comprising of sites over 100MW:
In 2022, the average electricity price for residential customers in American Samoa was approximately 45 cents/kilowatt-hour (kWh) - almost three times the U.S. average of 15 cents/kWh. Renewable energy represents a small but growing power system contribution, although American Samoa relies almost entirely on imported fossil fuels.

This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of American Samoa, the southernmost territory of the United States. American Samoa''s residential electricity rates are approximately $0.33 U.S. dollars (USD) per kilowatt-hour (kWh), more than t wice the average U.S. residential rate of $0.13 USD/kWh.
The island of Ta''u in American Samoa once relied on diesel fuel to supply electricity. Residents experienced consistent power rationing and outages, and key services like hospitals and schools hinged on infrequent fuel imports.[1]

Fuel for American Samoa comes from Singapore with Busan, South Korea as an alternate provider if needed. In the case of fuel disruption, Pacific Energy prioritizes serving ASPA to ensure power and water treatment services are not interrupted (Pacific Energy representative, personal communication, August 9, 2023).
Average U.S. and American Samoa Electricity Prices (2022) ASPA rates are down slightly as of January 2024—approximately $0.41/kWh for residential and commercial customers and $0.38/kWh for industrial customers. ASPA’s total energy rates include a renewable energy flat rate charged at $0.002/kWh across all service types (ASPA 2024).
Although energy burdens pose a real challenge in American Samoa, the territory is working to advance energy justice. For example, the Territorial Energy Office provides home energy efficiency programs to help reduce energy costs for low-income households.
This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory at American Samoa has also instituted a number of rules, regulations, and informal goals to help codify its climate and energy objectives.
1979: The U.S. “Emergency Energy Conservation Act of 1979” requires the submission of an emergency energy conservation plan by each state or territory (Public Law 96-102, as amended). American Samoa adopted its Emergency Energy Conservation Plan in 1982 (see Chapter 5, Annex A of ASCA 12 for plan details).
American Samoa is committed to leveraging these and other federal funding opportunities to advance its energy goals and priorities moving forward. American Samoa’s energy policy landscape constitutes a blend of multilateral agreements, strategic plans, rules, regulations, and dedicated offices.
