Palau has a promising potential for solar and wind energy deployment. The IRENA roadmap recommends the deployment of an additional 190 MW of solar energy and 20 MW of wind energy to achieve the country’s renewables goals.
The study also shows that Palau can achieve 100 percent renewables by exploring green hydrogen production from solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind. Palau has a promising potential for solar and wind energy deployment.
The results show that on top of the 2.5 MW of solar PV currently present in Palau, an additional 83 MW of solar PV and 20 MW of wind turbines would be required for such a system. Furthermore, this scenario would necessitate a battery storage system of 168 MWh and battery inverters of 34 MW.
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.
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%).
Together with a large amount of diesel generation, Palau also has some installed solar PV capacity. Indeed, the country’s current renewable energy capacity includes a total of 2.5 MW of utility-scale solar PV systems (see Table 3).
