Improving the Performance and Reliability of Renewable Energy Power Systems in Samoa

The primary objective of the IMPRESS project preparation grant is to design and develop a full size GEF- approved project document. Implementation of such a project will help the Government of Samoa to achieve its goal for generating 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources through improved sustainable and cost-effective utilisation of renewable energy resources for the energy production of Samoa.

Therefore, a key expected project outcomes is:

1. Key project document prepared and submitted to promote timely development, demonstration and financing of low carbon technologies and mitigation options.

The key project document will be produced from data collected during project preparatory activities including identifying barriers to the improved sustainable and cost-effective utilisation of renewable energy resources, conducting a LFA (logical framework analysis), project design components and stakeholder as well as project partner coordination meetings.
