Palau's $29m Solar-Storage Puzzle: Solved

• DNV has supported Solar Pacific Energy Corporation (SPEC) in a $29 million solar and storage project in Palau. Our expertise ensured the complicated hybrid solar and battery system was successfully installed on Babeldoab island, providing 20% of Palau's energy needs. SPEC now looks forward to more projects with DNV in the Asia Pacific region.

DNV has supported the Solar Pacific Energy Corporation's (SPEC) $29 million solar and storage project in the Republic of Palau. The 15.3MW solar power system and 13.2MWh battery installation on Babeldoab island will meet more than 20% of Palau’s energy needs. DNV's work encompassed four phases of the project, including design, pre-construction, construction, and completion. Their expertise ensured the delivery of a complex hybrid solar and battery storage solution on a remote island, and SPEC looks forward to working with DNV more in the Asia Pacific region.
