Fiaga Diesel Power Plant: Samoa

Abstract

The project constructed a 23-megawatt diesel power plant for the main Upolu grid. The powerplant was commissioned in 2013 by the Samoa Electric Power Corporation (EPC). The Fiaga powerplant currently generates 85 million kilowatts per hour annually, which is 65% of the national power generation for Samoa. The powerplant currently provides baseload power generation and has significantly improved reliability of power generation for EPC’s 35,000 residential, commercial, and government customers.
