developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided
This fact sheet provides an overview of the work Palau is doing in a variety of renewable energy activities with support from the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and outlines additional opportunities for involvement by
The government of Palau has proposed a target of achieving 100% of its electricity generation from renewable energy sources by 2050. This renewable energy roadmap for the Republic of Palau has subsequently been
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Palau, an independent island nation geographically located in the Micronesia region. Over 97% of the island''s electricity production is dependent on imported fossil fuels, primarily diesel.
Energy Snapshot Palau This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Palau, an independent island nation geographically located in the Micronesia region. Palau''s residential electricity rates are approximately $0.28 U.S. dollars (USD) per kilowatt-hour (kWh), more than twice the average U.S. residential rate of $0.13 USD/kWh.1 Like
This policy provides guidance for a unified and integrated energy sector management and set forth the foundation for Palau''s energy future. The vision is for a reliable and resilient energy sector delivering Palau sustainable, low emissions energy services.
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. To achieve this,
The Palau Energy & Water Administration (PEWA) under the Ministry of Finance acts as an international contact point and represents Palau in overseas energy meetings. It is also the project management unit for a number of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Palau.

The calibration model representing Palau’s current power system also confirms this dominance of fossil fuels and the low share taken by renewable energy.
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).
The Republic of Palau endorsed its National Energy Policy (NEP) in 2010. An Energy Sector Strategic Action Plan formed a guiding document for implementation of this policy.
Palau initiated energy eficiency efforts to reduce governmen-tal energy use through its Energy Conservation Strategy in 2007.
Palau, like the rest of the world, faces two major energy challenges. The first is to deliver clean, secure, affordable energy for all citizens of Palau while treating the environment responsibly.
Finding the right balance is an ongoing task involving government, producers and users of energy. The government believes a combination of competitive markets with backstop measures and effective regulation of suppliers is the best means of protecting the security of Palau’s energy supplies.
