American Samoa’s energy sector relies almost entirely on imported fossil fuels, although renewables represent a small but growing power system contribution. The territory possesses substantial solar energy resources, as well as wind and biomass resource potential.
American Samoa plans to make these data available to the public, to students of the Finafinau Group (an island community-service project focused on environmental conservation and resilience), and to all other interested parties for science projects and related activities (American Samoa Governor’s Office 2023a).
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).
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.
