Palau Renewable Energy Integration Project | The Australian
AIFFP is investing in Palau''s grid upgrades and battery storage to enable more solar power, reduce diesel reliance and support Pacific climate leadership.
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%.
The price of electricity in Palau, as of June 2021, is 0.000 U.S. Dollar per kWh for households and 0.000 U.S. Dollar for businesses (including all components of the electricity bill such as the cost of power, distribution, and taxes).
