An AIFFP loan and grant package has supported Solar Pacific Pristine Power to build Palau's first solar and battery energy storage facility, key to its transition to renewable energy. The pristine island nation of Palau is small yet proud, standing as a bright beacon of sustainability in the vast Pacific Ocean. As a small island developing state, the Republic of Palau sought to wean itself off its dependence on fossil fuel for power, which accounts for 99. 7% of the country's. Philippines-based power producer Solar Pacific Energy Corporation (SPEC) appointed DNV as Owner's Engineer for the 15. 3 MW solar power and associated 13. 2 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Ngatpang state on Babeldoab, the largest island in the Palau archipelago.
