Introduction This publication is the 2nd Energy Accounts ever produced, following the compilation of the first Experimental Energy Account for Samoa using the 2016 Samoa Energy Review by the Ministry of Finance. The Energy Accounts 2020 presents estimates on physical supply and use of energy (in joules1) for Samoa.
Table 1 is a summary of the Energy Supply and Use components for Samoa in 2020. Samoa’s energy supply totaled approximately 5,282 TJ where imported energy products accounted for an estimated 69.8 % (3,689 TJ) of total supply while natural inputs from the environment accounted for the remaining 30.2 % (1,593 TJ).
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.
Some of the energy aggregates and indicators are; 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.
Hence, Overall Total Electricity Production is estimated at 609.2 TJ (Refer PSUT). Conversion: 1 kWh = 3.6 Megajoules; then divide by 1000,000 to convert into Terajoules; or simply divide the kWh by 277,778 to get Terajoules. Note: Electricity Industry own uses and losses.

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).
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
