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.
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.
The optimal system includes the current power system together with additional renewable capacity coupled with battery storage. 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%).
A key recommendation for the government, if it is to achieve its proposed target of a 100% share for renewables by 2050, is to accelerate deployment of solar PV and battery storage systems through a combination of Palau Public Utilities Corporation (PPUC) investments and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
The roadmap includes several detailed scenarios based on the data and information provided by the Palau Energy Administration (PEA). The data were used to calibrate the model by first looking at the country's current power system, with this serving as the foundation for the other subsequent scenarios analysed in the study.
In 2019, Sharp installed 1MW solar power system on the rooftop of a new supermarket, for self-consumption purposes. This is the first installation of a mega solar system in Palau. The total CO2 reduced through this project is 843 tons per year.14 7.
