This report was prepared by the UNDP and World Bank Energy sector assessment program. Report of the Joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Assessment Program. 1985 report.
This report was prepared by Ma. Luisa A. Zuniga Carmine. Final Report March 2006.
This report was prepared by Simon Franklin, Julia McDonald and Oliver Woldring. This report describes a least-cost electricity generation plan for Samoa. It is intended to inform electricity sector planning decisions and describe the path toward achieving 100 per cent reliance on renewable electricity. Report was commissioned by New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade as part of the Pacific Energy Summit.
This report was prepared by the Government of Samoa. The National Infrastructure Strategic Plan (NISP) outlines the Government’s priorities and strategic directions for major initiatives in the economic infrastructure sector over the next 5-10 years.
This report was prepared by Murray Ward and Bill Rucks. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment’s Renewable Energy Division, under the auspices of the Joint Water Sector Steering Committee (JWSSC), conducted this feasibility study on the production of biogas through anaerobic digestion from household sewage and green waste as an alternative method of on-site waste management that will improve sanitation while also providing a useful energy source for domestic household use in the Vaitele peri-urban area.

In recent years there has been increasingly compelling evidence that anthropogenic climate change not only threatens the biophysical environment but it also increases potential vulnerabilities of the people and the socio-economic structures and activities. Like many pacific island states, Samoa is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and as a non-Annex 1 country is taking steps toward implementing the agreed objectives of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
This report was prepared by David Wright. The purpose of this report is to assist Samoa and its development partners to make sound decisions on the substantial capital investment and ongoing operating costs involved in renewable energy; ensuring that such investment is both environmentally and economically sound, delivering long term reliable and sustainable energy solutions to the country.

Apolima is a small island that is a part of Samoa, an island nation located in the central pacific.

This report was prepared by the UNDP. GHD was commissioned by UNDP to:
» Undertake data validation;
» Estimate site specific wind resource potential as well as estimate the overall wind resources for Upolu;
» Assess suitable wind turbines for installation in Samoa and determine willingness of turbine manufacturers to participate in a project;
This report was prepared by Murray Ward for the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation. The use of biodigesters in Samoa and other Pacific Islands has so far been limited to just small demonstrations, mostly involving piggeries. However, Samoa has abundant potential feedstock resource for biodigesters, so the possibility to produce nationally significant amounts of bioenergy in distributed systems at farms, villages and in plantation estates.
