Per capita this is an average of 549 kWh. Samoa can completely be self-sufficient with domestically produced energy. The total production of all electric energy producing facilities is 135 m kWh, also 112 percent of own requirements. The rest of the domestically produced energy is either exported into other countries or unused.
One of Samoa’s main goals for the energy sector is to achieve 70.0 % renewable energy use by the end of 2031, as stipulated in the Pathway for the Development of Samoa (PDS 2021/22- 2025/26). The Energy Account also provides statistics to assess and monitor the progress of that goal.
The Energy Accounts 2020 presents estimates on physical supply and use of energy (in joules1) for Samoa. Figure 1 highlights the Physical Energy Flows for Samoa, 2020. The accounts are compiled and developed by closely following the United Nations System of Environmental Economic Accounting (UN SEEA 2012) Central Framework and SEEA Energy 2019.
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE). The ministry provided the information the status of the Biogas Systems in Samoa. Five of the systems have a Daily Gas Production capacity of 5 cubic meters and one with 3 cubic meters. The largest one with 300 cubic meters at Piu is reportedly inactive.
The ministry also compiled a Fuel Summary Report for the financial years 2017-18 to 2019-20 for all government ministries. Samoa Shipping Corporation (SSC). Fuel used by shipping services for sea transport was provided by the corporation as well as fuel used for their vehicle fleet operation (Appendix A9).
