T1 - American Samoa Energy Strategies. AU - Conrad, Misty. AU - Esterly, Sean. PY - 2013. Y1 - 2013. N2 - In recent years, global energy prices have become increasingly volatile. Due to fluctuating energy prices, global competition is at its highest. In 2008, a global fuel price increase impacted American Samoan government budgets and when a
American Samoa is less than 1,000 miles south of the equator and has abundant solar energy resources. 63,64 In 2021, solar power accounted for about 11% of American Samoa''s electricity generating capacity and about 3% of its electricity generation. 65,66 In 2016, ASPA completed conversion from diesel-powered to solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity
The Samoa Energy Database has recorded up to 22 community -based biogas systems installed from 2010 t o 2022. These projects were funded by Improving the Performance and Reliability of Renewable Energy Power Systems in Samoa (IMPRESS), Youth With A Mission (YWAM), Samoa Farmers Association (SFA) and the Water and Sanitation Sector budget
The American Samoa Territorial Energy Office is the managing agency of American Samoa''s Weatherization Assistance Program. Despite geographic isolation, high retail electricity rates, and vulnerability to natural disasters that wreak havoc in island communities, American Samoa was able to weatherize 912 homes between 2010 and 2021 with annual

American Samoa is experiencing rapid relative sea level rise due to increases in global sea level and significant post-2009 earthquake land subsidence, endangering homes and critical infrastructure. Wave and water-level observations collected over a fringing reef at Faga''itua Bay, American Samoa, in 2017 reveal depth-limited shoreline sea

The 2016 American Samoa Energy Action Plan identifies some geothermal resources, but none of these are viable for commercial electricity generation. The 2016 plan instead emphasizes the development of wind and solar power (Ness, Haase, and Conrad 2016). American Samoa is exploring opportunities for both offshore and onshore wind power generation.
American Samoa uses imported fossil fuels for almost all of the territory's energy needs, including transportation, drinking and waste water treatment, and most (about 97% in 2020) of its electric power generation. Electricity prices in American Samoa vary with world petroleum prices.
Although energy burdens pose a real challenge in American Samoa, the territory is working to advance energy justice. For example, the Territorial Energy Office provides home energy efficiency programs to help reduce energy costs for low-income households.
American Samoa is committed to leveraging these and other federal funding opportunities to advance its energy goals and priorities moving forward. American Samoa’s energy policy landscape constitutes a blend of multilateral agreements, strategic plans, rules, regulations, and dedicated offices.
Energy justice is an important concept for American Samoa due in part to energy affordability issues. As Table 8 demonstrates, the approximate baseline home electricity burden in American Samoa in 2019 was 5.45%—compared to an approximate baseline U.S. home electricity burden of 2.11%.
In 2021, American Samoa became the first U.S. territory to receive an Environmental Justice grant under the EPA’s State Environmental Justice Cooperative Agreement program. The EPA granted the American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency $200,000 to address COVID 19-related air quality issues across the island of Tutuila (EPA 2021).
