In 2010, the Government of Taiwan, funded two solar PV systems in Palau – one at the Belau National Hospital (BNH) and another one at the Ministry of Education (MOE). The installed capacity of the solar system at the BNH is 150kW and contributes ~10% of BNH's energy consumption.6 The solar system at the MOE is of 51 kW capacity.
The Palau Solar Battery Project will be the largest such project in the Western Pacific. It will lessen Palau's imported fuel dependency, a major step towards its ambitious goal of 100%.
In 2011, GoJ provided a grant of ~ US$ 5 million for installation of a 227 kW solar PV system at Palau International Airport.8 The solar PV system generates close to 250 MWh of renewable energy accounting for 15% of the electricity demand for powering the airport facilities. The system offsets an estimated 80 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
installed at the Capitol Complex in 2008.13 Subsidized private financing of grid-connected solar through the National Development Bank of Palau (NDBP), initiated in 2010, has increased solar uptake in Palau.13 Several renewable energy projects have been funded by Europe, Japan, and Taiwan, among others.
