Economic, Social, Infrastructural and Environmental. Fossil fuel price volatility and supply issues is one of the factors that affects the economy of Samoa. The 2nd Samoa Energy Sector Plan (SESP) 2017-2022 provides the framework which will guide our programs and the actions required by all stakeholders in order to achieve the sector vision of '~ccess to Quality Energy Supply for All Improved". This plan will strengthen government partnerships with the private sector, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), development partners and the communities to promote and achieve its theme of "Sustainable and Affordable Energy for All". The SESP will deliver outcomes consistent with the overarching Strategy for the Development of Samoa (SDS) 2016/17-2019/20. The SDS 2016/17-2019/20 vision is "Improved Quality of Life for All" supported by the theme '~ccelerating Sustainable Development and Broadening Opportunities for All". All of the national outcomes are influenced by the availability, accessibility, affordability, stability, sustainability, safety and environmental impacts of the different uses of energy. The SESP 2017-2022 also links to the Sustainable Development Goal 7 which is '~/fordable and Clean Energy". This goal focuses to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modem energy for all. The total demand for energy has increased substantially over the past years mainly driven by increase in demand for fossil fuel for the transport and electricity sector. Efforts have been made to ensure the availability, accessibility, affordability, sustainability and safety of the energy sector through the promotion of renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation. Therefore the energy consumption in 2015 has decline to 108.3 kilo-tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) from 123.5ktoe in 2014. Energy review reports are published annually, which provides an overview of Samoa's energy sector including indigenous energy sources. The purpose of these reports is to provide the Government of Samoa, Development Partners, Private Sector, Non Government Organisations and the communities with a better understanding of the energy sector. It is crucial that the data that is used for the development of these reports are accurate and provided in a timely manner. The SESP 2017-2022 has identified the main areas for the energy sector and categorised into 5 sections or End of Sector Plan Outcomes (ESPO) because of their distinctive characteristics. In addition, a number of strategies have been formulated for achieving these outcomes: • End of Sector Plan Outcome 1: Renewable Energy Increased. The Renewable Energy sub sector focuses on how to successfully reduce the dependency on fossil fuel and promote the use of renewable energy. 9 • End of Sector Plan Outcome 2: Electricity Services Improved. The Electricity sub sector will focus on the supply of electricity from fossil fuel and alternative renewable energy sources that have been proven feasible. This will include the generation and distribution of electricity. • End of Sector Plan Outcome 3: Energy Efficient Transport Sector. The Transport sub sector focus on ensuring that the transport sector adheres to legislations and acts that are governing the sector. Promoting energy efficiency and considering other alternative fuels to power transportation and to ensure it is environmentally friendly. • End of Sector Plan Outcome 4: Management of Petroleum Products improved The Petroleum sub sector will look into the effective and efficient monitoring of the petrol~um products, and to ensure that the distribution, storage and disposal of petroleum products adheres to legislations and required standards. • End of Sector Plan Outcome 5: Coordination ofEnergy Sector Improved. This section on the Institutional setting and governance framework focuses on good governance, leadership and coordination across the whole energy sector. This plan also considers the importance of cross-cutting issues that relates to each of the sub- sectors such as: 1. Climate Change & Resilience; 2. Vulnerable groups; 3. Human and Institutional Capacity; 4. Promotion and Dissemination of Information; 5. Energy Efficiency across the sector; and 6. Gender Equity. For the Samoa Energy Sector Plan period of five years (2017-2022), the intermediate outcomes and immediate 'end of SP' outcomes for the whole sector are set out in the participatory outcomes mapping matrix attached as Annex 1. 10 I. ENERGY SECTOR POLICY FRAMEWORK 2017 - 2022 The vision for the Energy Sector is from the SOS 2016/17-2019/20 with a guiding theme: Vision : "Access to Quality Energy Supply for All Improved". and Theme "Sustainable and Affordable Energy for All". The Long Term Outcomes outlined within the SOS are as follows: 1. Renewable energy investment and generation increased; 2. Electricity supply access and reliability improved; 3. Road transport energy efficiency policy planning improved; 4. Petroleum supply, management and safety improved; 5. Climate and Disaster resilience management integrated into energy planning and implementation. The five (5) End of Sector Plan Outcomes that has been identified and are targeted to be achieved within the timeframe of the energy sector plan 2017-2022 are: 1. Renewable Energy Increased; 2. Electricity Services Improved; 3. Energy Efficient Transport Sector; 4. Management ofPetroleum Products Enhanced; 5. Coordination ofEnergy Sector Improved. This energy sector plan is set for a period of five years from 2017- 2022 and it includes the end of sector outcomes, intermediate outcomes, immediate end of sector outcomes and measureable indicators for annual sector reviews that are linked to the budget process. The SESP 2017-2022 will be coordinated and monitored by the Energy Policy Coordination and Management Division (EPCMD) within the Ministry of Finance, while the implementation will be a collaborated responsibility of the EPCMD and all the energy stakeholders. In addition, the sector oversight will be the National Energy Coordination Committee (NECC). 11 II. INTRODUCTION Background The overall Samoan economy has grown and expanded over the past two decades and along with this the demand for energy in its various forms and energy services has also grown. Preference for electricity and fossil fuelled equipment has risen indicating a gradual shift from traditional energy sources such as biomass to more convenient sources like fossil fuel and gas. The increase and diversity in energy demand together with the high associated costs highlights the need for a comprehensive framework to guide and manage the growing energy sector in Samoa. The estimated energy generated from primary sources in Samoa in 2015 was estimated around 108.3 kilo-tonnes of oil equivalent. Of these generated energy 14% was met by biomass, 83% by petroleum products and 3% from renewable. 1 In contrast, a 12% reduction of energy generated and consumed in 2015 is noticeable when compared to 2014 which recorded about 123 .5 kilo- tonnes of oil equivalent energy generated. Fossil fuel continues to dominate the demand and supply side of the energy sector and this is mainly due to the consumption for the electricity and transport sub-sectors. The Energy Sector is one of the fourteen key sectors of the Samoa economy and it is a prominent outcome under the priority area of Infrastructure. This also links to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Small Island Developing States Accelerated Modality of Action (SAMOA) Pathway adopted in Samoa by the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in 2014. Energy directly impacts the quality of life for all and the overall productivity of Samoa economically, socially, infrastructural and environmentally. As one of the important infrastructure sectors, the energy sector is required to ensure that the ''Access to Quality Energy Supply for All Improved" will contribute to the overall growth of the economy. The Energy sector theme of "Sustainable and Affordable Energy for All" will contribute significantly to achieving the overarching theme of the SDS 2016/17-2019/20, - "Accelerating Sustainable Development and Broadening Opportunities for All" through harnessing a strong development consensus with all the other sectors within the economy. The 2nd Energy Sector Plan outlines the strategic direction, the longer term outcomes, end of sector plan outcomes, intermediate outcomes and immediate end of sector plan outcomes that the energy sector in collaboration with all its stakeholders is determined to achieve within the period 2017-2022 and is closely linked to the priority areas of the SDS 2016/17-2019/20. Priority Area 1: Economic Key Outcome 1: Macroeconomic Resilience Increased and Sustained 1 Samoa Energy Review Report (SERR) 2015; EPCMD, Ministry of Finance 12 Key Outcome 2: Agriculture and Fisheries Productivity Increased Key Outcome 3: Export Products Increased Key Outcome 4: Tourism Development and Performance Improved Key Outcome 5: Participation of Private Sector Development Enhanced Priority Area 2: Social Key Outcome 6: A Healthy Samoa and Well Being Promoted Key Outcome 7: Quality Education and Training Improved Key Outcome 8: Social Institutions Strengthened Priority Area 3: Infrastructure Key Outcome 9: Access to Clean Water and Sanitation Sustained Key Outcome 10: Transport Systems and Networks Improved Key Outcome 11: Improved and Affodable Country Wide ICT Connectivity Key Outcome 12: Quality Energy Supply Priority Area 4: Environment Key Outcome 13: Environmental Resilience Improved Key Outcome 14: Climate and Disaster Resilience Increased The energy sector's contribution to the SDS is noted largely under the key outcome 12; however energy also has important linkages and contributions to all key outcomes but particularly to the macroeconomic resilience, participation of private sector, quality education and training, transport systems and networks, environmental resilience and climate and disaster resilience. Cross-Cutting Issues The important cross-cutting issues considered when formulating policy for each Sub-sector are: a. Climate change & Disaster Resilience; b. Vulnerable Groups; c. Human and Institutional Capacity; d. Promotion and Dissemination ofInformation; e. Energy Efficiency across the sector; f Gender Equity. These are addressed where appropriate throughout this Plan. This section explains each of the cross-cutting issues in greater detail. 13 a. Climate Change and Disaster Resilience Samoa's energy sector continues to face multiple risks from climate change through the increasing threats of severe weather-related disasters, such as cyclones, floods, droughts, landslides; and other natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Climate change and variability intensifies the vulnerability of the energy sector and the challenge to make energy sector resilient increases. In the past years, events such as cyclones have affected the production of energy, damaged energy infrastructure, energy assets, and significantly destabilized the uninterrupted supply of energy throughout the country. These unforeseen interruptions have been proven costly for the sector. Therefore, in order to counter these potential impacts emergency attentiveness and response strategies are considered necessary to sustain and ensure energy infrastructure in operation. The energy sector must ensure that all climate change and disaster impacts are appropriately addressed and integrated into all the necessary areas of the sector. To build, encourage and enforce greater resilience, investing into development planning including policy making, financing, programming and implementation is required. The need to address issues pertaining to the technological practicality as well as procuring and using of enhanced technologies are also a priority of the sector. In this manner, it will also assist the sector's aptitude to cost effectively meet the rising energy demands as well as seeking any solutions and benefits for the aforementioned issues. Reliable, affordable and uninterrupted power and fuel supply is a crucial factor to developments of the energy sector. Building resilience towards climate change and disaster impacts requires all sub sectors and all energy stakeholders to invest into efforts that integrates specific responses and various approaches. These approaches include risk assessment, technological solutions and emergency preparedness measures. Other approaches such as raise awareness within communities carry out climate risk assessments, prevention and management: risk prevention, emergency preparedness, and insuring energy assets are all core activities and measures of creating a strong resilience energy sector. For Samoa, the energy sector has made efforts to ensure that climate change and disaster risk management is incorporated in all sub sectors. This has been carried out vigorously by the implementation of climate resilience projects across all key sub sectors through the mainstreaming of adaptive measures across frameworks, policies and management approaches entails coordination across policy areas, the engagement of non-governmental organizations and the private sector, as well as mobilization of technical knowledge. For instance, the one of the Transport sectors' key goal's in its sector plan from 2014- 2018 focuses on Improving, sustaining of climate proof road transport network. b. Vulnerable Groups The rising cost of energy bills is particularly hard for vulnerable groups or low-income households, who may, depending on their individual circumstances, get into debt trying to meet their energy needs. For that reason, efforts to promote energy efficiency and conservation appliances (which are usually more costly compared to inefficient appliances) are underminded. 14 On the other hand, the energy sector aims to achieve energy sustainability and security through enhancing its renewable energy efforts which will lead to more affordable prices. c. Human and Institutional Capacity Human and institutional capacity building remains a vital part of further developing and strengthening the energy sector in Samoa. Capacity building in general refers to the strengthening of the capability of key personnel and agencies within the sector to generate effective and efficient use of resources, to ensure sector goals are accomplished at a reasonable cost on a sustainable basis. In addition, the need for capacity building focuses on improving existing or obtaining of new skills through training or any other capacity building activity, in order to improve an existing, or establish a new function within the sector. It consists of but not limited to best practices, adaptive measures, sharing of information, training on risk assessments, resilience enhancing measures as well as training for fast emergency response and recovery, data management training and forecasting. Improving and sustaining human resource and institutional capacity within the sector through conducting training needs assessments, skills upgrade through training programs in the local university and offshore institutions as well as the inclusion of energy education within schools are the core focus of the institutional support of the sector. In this way, investing in capacity building needs also enhance performance of power sector stakeholders internally and their external interaction with other players in the sector which will further increase resilience and improve sector performance. However, there is also an increasing need for financial and technical assistance from international parties and donors in order to execute the abovementioned goals. Thus in strengthening resilience within the energy sector, special attention is needed for capacity building especially in terms of technical assistance to promote energy efficiency and respond to emergent opportunities. Responsible ministries for each of the sub-sectors are accountable for identifying any resource and capacity building requirements and looking to determine solutions to these. The Energy Policy Coordination and Management Division, as the Energy Sector coordinator, should also be well informed and where appropriate may be able to facilitate the allocating of resources transversely government and possibly with the private sector. Throughout this plan, there are specific areas in which training needs are addressed in order to identify the appropriate trainings for each sub sector for energy. d. Promotion and Dissemination ofInformation One of the most difficult challenges that the energy sector faces is the sharing of information as well as the timely submission of data from respective stakeholders. The lack of cooperation from the respective stakeholders has caused delays in producing and releasing reports such as the Annual Energy Review which provides information that helps the sector improve its performance as well as providing the public with an annual report of energy data. Usually, despite frequent follow ups, stakeholders do not share data by the set timelines. 15 The energy sector shall reinforce the development and dissemination of all relevant information related to all subsectors of the energy sector in order to help the forecasting needs of the sector as well as strengthening its resilient measures and activities. This information include promoting public awareness of energy efficiency and conservation, information on vehicle and appliance energy consumption ratings, promoting energy audits and demonstrating ways to minimize electricity usage. All subsectors should work together to improve the coordination of transport, petroleum and electricity data collection which will also contribute greatly to public awareness and improve information on energy efficiency, demand and supply for dissemination. It is recommended that all relevant steering committees as well as working groups already in place within the sector must encourage the sharing of relevant information to further develop the sector's performance and improve channels of communication. e. Promoting Energy Efficiency Across the Sector With regards to incentivizing the implementation of energy efficient and energy saving practices, the Samoa Energy Sector through its implementing agencies have been developing EE initiatives, practices and proposed measures over the past years. These measures have been undertaken effectively to increase the level of integration of EE practices as well as its consequential benefits. f Gender Equity Gender equality generally refers to enabling the creation of equal opportunities for women and men to ensure that they are able to contribute on an even balance economically, politically, socially and culturally. In this case both men and women are not being prevented from reaching their full potential because of their gender and puts equal value on the varying roles played by women and men in society. Thus, integrating gender equality in Samoa's energy sector is also critical to the growth of the sector. Energy is a vital contribution in the daily lives of women, who need energy for their household tasks, such as cooking; for productive uses, to contribute to household income; and for rural industry uses, such as food processing. It must also be stressed that integrating gender equality is not just about adding women to be a part of energy development projects. In general, women's and men's needs and priorities for energy and access to energy resources often differ based on their roles and responsibilities in societies. Therefore, affordable, accessible, reliable and sustainable modem energy services can considerably diminish gender-based labor burdens as well as improving the health conditions and expanding opportunities for energy projects and capacity- building in communities. 16 Purpose of this Plan This plan supersedes the Samoa Energy Sector Plan (SESP) 2012-2016. It provides the strategic direction and it indicates the priority areas that the energy sector will focus on achieving in the next five year cycle (2017 - 2022). This plan provides the framework which will guide the coherent coordination, management and implementation across the sector wide to achieve affordable energy for all. Furthermore, the aim of this plan is to strengthen government collaboration and partnership with all stakeholders, Private Sector, NGO's, Development Partners and the communities to create equal opportunities for all. The successful implementation of this plan will contribute in achieving the national vision of "An improved quality of life for all", while this will also be an advantage for Samoa for accomplishments against the global SDGs and SAMOA pathway. Plan Development Process The SESP has been developed by the MOF (EPCMD) as the sector coordinator and lead agency for the energy sector. The development of this plan was guided by the 2015 Sector Planning Manual for Samoa2, and has been compiled through a participatory approach and sector wide consultations with various stakeholders. Initial consultations were conducted with our sector agencies and stakeholders to review the SESP 2012-2016 and to formulate the participatory outcomes mapping for the 2nd SESP 2017-2022 in June, 2017 followed by public consultations conducted in both Upolu and Savaii in July, 2017. The list of stakeholders consulted is attached as Annex 3. 2 Sector Planning Manual for Samoa, 2015. Economic & Policy Planning Division (EPPD), Ministry ofFinance 17 III. ENERGY SECTOR REVIEW Energy and the Economy The SDS 2016/17-2019/20 details the Government's commitment to be successful in improving the quality of life for all with its theme "Accelerating Sustainable Development and Broadening Opportunities for All". All the priority areas are influenced directly or indirectly by the availability, affordability, accessibility, sustainability, safety and environmental impacts of energy. Over the years, the economy is continuing to grow steadily and improving from the previous worldwide uncertainties that also affected the economy of Samoa. Economic activities have continued to grow and it was recorded that the real GDP increased to 3.1 %. 3 Overview of Samoa's Energy Sector The latest data collected is for the year 2015 and the data collection for 2016 is currently ongoing. This has been one of the main challenges faced by the sector coordinating unit, collecting the data on a timely basis and ensuring its accuracy is very important. Hence the review is based from the 2015 report as this is the latest report available. The Samoa Energy Review Report (SERR) 20154, recorded the estimated energy generated from primary sources was around 108.3 ktoe. Of these, it was estimated that 14% of the energy generated was from biomass, 83% by petroleum products and the remaining 3% from renewable energy sources. It was also recorded that 22% of the total primary energy supplied was transformed into electricity generation. By end use sector, the transport and residential sector accounted for 53% and 14% respectively of the total net energy supplied. The transport sector is predominantly supplied by imported petroleum products, whilst the residential sector are mainly met by biomass which is estimated to account for 99.5% of total energy sources consumed in the residential sector. The commercial, industrial and government sectors combined account for 5.8% of total net energy supplied to the end use sector, of which imported petroleum products and electricity meets 93% of their energy needs. The remaining sectors which include the community, agriculture, fishing sector and others accounted for 4.8% of total end use consumption. 3 Quarterly Economic Overview, 2 nd Quarter (Oct-Dec 2016/17). EPPD, Ministry of Finance 4 Samoa Energy Review Report 2015. EPCMD, Ministry of Finance 18 The contribution from new renewable energy fluctuated up and down since 2000 as show in the figures 1 and 2 5below.

This was mainly attributed to the reduction in contribution from the agriculture sector (copra and cocoa industry) and forestry sector. The significant drop in biomass usage by households demonstrates the preference to utilize other cooking sources such as kerosene, LPG and electricity. Contribution from hydro power to the overall energy production in Samoa fluctuated between 3.8 to 4.9 kTOE from 2000 to 2009. From 2010 to 2015 hydro generation was at the range of 3.4 to 2.6kTOE and 2011 recorded the lowest generation. There were slight increases in 201 2 and 2013,a reduction to 2.79 kTOE in 2014 and then remained constant in 2015. Key Findings of the Review of the SESP 2012-2016 The Samoa Energy Sector Plan 2012-2016 reflected an innovative approach used to guide the energy sector from policy formulation to the implementation of required and relev~t activities to 5 Figures 1&2: Source - SERR 2015; EPCMD, Ministry of Finance 19 achieve the overall vision of "Sustainable Energy" and theme of "Sustainable Energy Supply- towards Energy Self Sufficiency". The sector plan was also a change from a centric focus to a sector wide approach which clearly sets out the sector targets, activities and the roles and responsibilities of the respective stakeholders that will contribute in achieving the overall goal of the sector which was "To reduce the growth rate in the volume of imported fossil fuels by 10% by 2016". The SESP 2012-2016 was divided into four key policy areas under the following key outcomes: 1. Institutional Framework- efficient and effective coordination and management of the Energy Sector; 2. Transport - efficient, sustainable, safe and cost effective energy use in the transport sector; 3. Electricity- efficient, reliable, safe, affordable and sustainable electricity services; 4. Heating and cooking - efficient, reliable, affordable and sustainable hear source supply. A Logical Framework was developed which identified the strategies and activities for each sub- sector and a monitoring and evaluation plan was also in place to monitor the implementation of the plan. Annual reviews were conducted collaboratively with the sector's partners and stakeholders. The review reports compiled included comprehensively looking at the performance of the sector in accordance with its performance framework outlined in the plan and updated on major achievements and more importantly identifying and addressing key issues within sector. From the review, table 1 summarises the achievement status in relation to expected outcomes for each subsector:- Table 1: Summary on Achievement status as per Expected Outcomes Sub sector Groups Total Outcomes Achieved (%) 2014 - 2015 2015 -2016 Institutional Support 11 10/11 (91%) 10/11 (90%) Transport 7 4/7 (57%) 5/7 (71 %) Electricity 6 6/6 (100%) 6/6 (100%) Heating and cooking 2 1.5/2 (75%) 1.5/2 (75%) As stated by the end of the Term Energy Sector Plan status report 62014-2015 & 2015-2016, since the establishment of the EPCMD, there has been a tremendous improvement in the coordination of sector stakeholders' engagements and communications, sectorial information management and efficient reporting systems. Better coordination of activities and effective institutional support has been manifested through the use of a sector-based approach for energy with better established communications and relationships with other sectors. 6 End of the Term Energy Sector Plan status report 201 4-2015 & 2015-2016;EPCMD, Ministry ofFinance 20 The overall performance of the key subsectors in relations to their expected outcomes have been good although there is room for improvement. Problematic factors in relations to performance gaps in the sector have been identified for pragmatic resolutions in the future. In terms of the SESP 2012-2016 overall sector goal/objective of "To reduce the growth rate in the volume of imported fossil fuels by 10% by 2016" and where we are now. RE contribution for the whole of Samoa as recorded in the SERR 2015, since 2000 it has increased to 3.3%. The import volumes of fossil fuel as shown in table 2, shows an increase from 2012-2013, a decline in 2014 and then increased again in 2015 to 2016.

Another challenge was the mainstreaming of energy key outcomes and strategies to be aligned with other sectors and activities and vice versa. The most important challenge is the collection of data in a timely manner and its accuracy is crucial. Data is very important to provide analysis in which will assist the decision makers to make informed decisions, hence the importance of the collaboration of all data providers. The new SESP 2017- 2022 will identify and address the gaps and issues that have been raised during the review of the 2012-2016 energy sector plan. 9 Table 3: Source - EPCMD, Ministry of Finance 23 IV. THE SAMOA ENERGY SECTOR PLAN 2017 - 2022 : End of Sector Plan Outcomes; 1. Renewable Energy Longer Term Outcome: Renewable Energy (RE) investment and generation increased; End of Sector Plan Outcome: RE increased.

1.1 Status The share of renewable energy of the total energy mix remains quite low although the contribution of renewable energy to the Total Final Energy Supply (TFES) has steadily increased to 3.6% in 2015. The contribution from renewable energy sources, particular solar is expected to have increased further as a number of grid-connected photovoltaic projects were commissioned in 2016. The Electric Power Corporation (EPC) is effectively generating electricity from hydro, solar energy and wind through enhancing partnerships with the private sector which has seen increasing private sector investment in renewable energy projects. Figure 8: Hydro, Solar Farm -Faleata Racecourse & Vailoa-Aleipata Wind Farm 10 Of the primary energy supply, the greatest contribution is from Biomass (13%), used mainly as a cooking fuel for households in rural areas. For electricity generation, whilst the contribution from hydro on average basically remained the same over the last 5 years at around 2.6 %, contributions from solar and wind combined contribution is about 1 %. EPC maintains a database of on-going renewable energy projects as well as projects in the pipeline. Successful completion of such projects will lead to increasing renewable energy share to the national electricity grid, reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and, contribute to achieving Samoa's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); Reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from the Electricity sub sector through the adoption of 100% Renewable Energy electricity generated towards 2025. Moreover, there are also options available for heating and cooking purposes such as solar water heaters which are commonly used in hotels while biogas technology are encouraged in local communities for lighting and cooking. Additionally, the use of indigenous energy resources is also promoted for power generation. Feasibility studies are being conducted to assess forest biomass as °Figure 8: Sources- Hydro, (Samoa Observer April 11, 2016), solar & Wind (EPC website) 1 24 feedstock for potential biomass-electricity gasification power plant. Also, the Scientific Research Organization of Samoa (SROS) is conducting research and feasibility studies on suitable feedstock for Biodiesel and Biofuels that are economically viable for Samoa. Figure 911 : Jatropha Curcas (above), Funtumia Elastica (middle), Castilla Elastica (far right) 1. 2 Key Issues to be addressed ■ Increasing the share of renewable energy in the overall energy mix • Public awareness and education on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency • Partnerships among stakeholders for sharing experiences and expertise • Access to funding and information • Capacity development of locals • Legislative and regulatory gaps for greater uptake of Renewable Energy Existing renewable energy projects such as hydropower, solar and wind should be sustained as well as continuing the development of new projects with minimal impacts on the environment. Additionally, it is essential to introduce renewable energy in School Curriculum from primary to tertiary level, such that knowledge and information on renewable energy is shared. Thus, enabling the learners in the formal education sector to better understand the costs and benefits of renewable energy to the national economy as a whole. Targeted public awareness and education programmes are needed for sharing knowledge and information on renewable energy, energy efficiency (EE), energy conservation and identifying costs and benefits of renewable energy. The public should also be well informed of Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) which are environmentally friendly, reliable and applicable to their respective needs and how to use energy more efficiently. Partnership with communities and all energy stakeholders must be strengthened m order to support renewable energy initiatives, activities and accessing financial and technical support from development partners will be encouraged for these projects. Moreover, affiliation between communities is also encouraged to share experience and expertise in developing renewable energy projects in villages. 11 Figure 9: Source- Plant Species Booklet 201 7, STEC 25 Most communities remain unaware of small grants scheme available from time to time. Consequently, advertisement of such financing schemes should extend to using other means of media including through Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development (MWCSD) as access point to distribute relevant information to communities. Activities targeted at capacity building and training of locals would improve and develop local skills and amongst others, enhance the planning, implementation, management and sustainability of renewable energy projects. A centralized database for renewable energy projects needs to be developed to ensure information is readily made available and accessible across the sector. One of the ongoing challenges faced by the sector is the accuracy and reliability of the available data. Also, there are significant delays in data collection from relevant stakeholders. Therefore, an integrated information system advocates the consistency of information and quality data and reports are produced on time. This information is also useful in sector planning including accessing financial and technical assistance from potential development partners. Samoa's economy is characterized by its high dependence on fossil fuels and currently, there the sector lacks a focused and clearly streamlined legislative and regulatory framework that provides a streamlined framework for sector governance, planning, coordination, implementation and monitoring of projects and interventions for greater utilization ofrenewable energy. 26

Electricity Longer Term Outcome: Electricity supply access and reliability improved; End of Sector Plan Outcome: Electricity Services Improved

2.1 Status Electricity Sub-sector comprises the sum of electricity supply system from the sourcing of fuels through to generation, transmission, distribution and end use. This includes both grid delivered electricity and the private supply of electricity through solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and diesel generators. The national electrification rate is very close to 100%, with a total of 95% of households having access to grid connected electricity while the other remaining 5% are connected to small scale diesel generators or solar PV systems. Household income is one of the main factors affecting a family's ability to access electricity and as such, in line with the energy sector theme; "Affordable Energy for All", electricity service providers' work to ensure that electricity is available to every citizen at a reasonable cost. Electric Power Corporation (EPC) is the sole supplier of electricity in Samoa and is consistently striving towards 100% electricity generation from renewable energy sources by 2025. The electricity sub-sector is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels and diesel generation remains the dominant supply of electricity, which increased by 2% in 2015. The Government and EPC both work actively with stakeholders and prospective Independent Power Producers (IPPs)to reduce the importation and use of fossil fuels through harnessing of locally available renewable energy resources, mainly solar, wind and hydro resources. 12 Renewable electricity generation for the grid is largely from hydro power plants and over the years the contribution has been slightly affected due to damages to infrastructure as a result of cyclone Evan in 2012. The reconstruction of damaged hydro stations as well as construction of new hydro power projects is part of EPC's plans. However, the total renewable energy generation accounted for 36.2% of the total electricity generated m 2015. The figure 10 Trend in Generation mix from 2000 to 201 5 summarises the contribution from diesel and 1 .ro.or>,> 100.oou hydro over the years as well as volume of diesel used for electricity generation. .e I 60.oon The present mix of renewable energy generation apart from hydro is made up of 0 contributions from a small scale wind power system (550 kW) and a number of grid 11,•.vR I <OOlllllUltm connected solar systems; Green Power Figure 10: Electricity Generation mix. 12 Figure I 0: Source-SERR 2015; EPCMD, Minisrty of Finance 29 (4 MW), Sun Pacific (2 MW) and Solar for Samoa (4 MW), whilst E-Power systems (25MW Wind and l0MW hydro storage) are under construction. However, greater utilisation of renewable energy resources for electricity generation is critical to achieve Samoa' s NDC target of 100% renewable energy fuelled electricity by 2025 which also minimize environmental impacts particularly with respect to greenhouse gas emissions.

2.2 Key Issues to be addressed • Reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation • Enabling environment for development of grid-connect renewable energy projects • Energy efficiency improvements on supply side and demand side • Capacity development vis a vis strengthening resilience to impacts of natural events • Improving access to consumer services, including information sharing Improving self-sufficiency in terms of energy needs is undoubtedly important and beneficial for the national economy. As such, resource assessments, financial and technical studies etc on readily available renewable energy resources such as hydro, solar, wind and biomass should be progressively pursued with a strong intent of realising utility scale grid-connect projects. Whilst recently, a number of IPPs have started supplying to the grid, a few prospective IPP projects have not come to fruition. Thus, the opportunity costs to the national economy due to such failed projects should be considered by the relevant decision making authorities. Given the rapid developments in renewable energy technologies and their falling prices, enabling conditions such as financial, fiscal and policy measures are needed that facilitate development of utility scale projects. Also, existing policies, support systems and incentive mechanisms should undergo a systemic periodic review and if needed new instruments developed to further encourage private investments in renewable grid-connect projects. 13 Figure 11 : Source- SERR 2015; EPCMD, Ministry of Finance 30 Improving energy efficiency on both supply and demand side is imperative. Whilst the EPC is responsible for efficiency improvements on supply side, Government is yet to fully rollout standards and labelling (S&L) program for household electrical appliances. Regulatory instruments for S&L need to be developed and enforced to address compliance with the energy efficiency and performance standards. Also, energy awareness programs on making smart energy choices regarding the use of energy efficient appliances should be ongoing. Samoa's vulnerability to severe weather and climatic events such as cyclones and floods is further exacerbated by the changing climate. Thus, it is vital to focus on strengthening overall resilience to extreme events especially to mitigate loss and damage to critical national infrastructures that could potentially affect essential services. Therefore, capacity building needs within the energy sector including for personnel from EPC, should be prioritised and trainings facilitated to better identify, plan and respond to such risks. Electricity consumers mainly in rural areas are greatly impacted by indirect costs of accessing electricity services and feel the need for efficient and affordable consumer support systems. In particular, the issue of few 'cash power' outlets and also not easily accessible by many rural communities. Any indirect costs to access electricity related services adds financial burden on low-income households. Thus, interventions such as development of web applications compatible with cell phones for ease of access to purchasing 'cash power' tokens should be supported. Also, timely responses to customer enquiries is essential as well as sharing of relevant information with national planning agencies, investors and development partners etc. 31 2. 3 Electricity sub-sector plan Table 5: Outcomes, Strategies and Indicators for Electricity Longer Term Outcome Electricity supply access and reliability improved End of Sector Plan Outcome ELECTRICITY SERVICES IMPROVED (ESPO) 2: Intermediate Outcomes Strategies Indicators

Transport Longer Term Outcome: Road Transport energy efficiency policy planning improved; End of Sector Plan Outcome: Energy Efficient Transport Sector.

3.1 Status Transport sector has direct impacts on the growth in other sectors of the economy and transportation is a fundamental aspect to social and economic development of Samoa. It enables the movement of people, goods and services both domestically and abroad using various modes of transportation including land, sea and air. The transport sector consumes the largest volume of fossil fuel particularly road transport and the demand for transport fuel continues to grow. The Energy review report 2015 recorded the fuel consumption of 68.5 million litres which depicted an increase by 13% compared to 2014. On the other hand, there has been gradual progress in research into producing alternative fuels for land transport, apart from coconut oil and Jatropha. The Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa (SROS) continues undertaking feasibility studies and laboratory testings on feasible feedstocks for Biodiesel/Biofuels that are economically viable to Samoa' s local context. Bioethanol is also under SROS's scientific investigation as a potential and viable future renewable liquid fuel for transport. 14 The public is encouraged to import fuel efficient vehicles as it not only helps reduce the volume of fossil fuel consumed per vehicle but also leads to reduction in GHG emissions. Additionally, introduction of electric vehicles are also being considered and the Land Transport Authority (L TA) is conducting trials with electric scooters. However, it is important to note that electric vehicles would prove useful only if any marginal increment in electricity demand due to E-vehicle charging is met by electricity generated from additional or new renewable energy resources. The MNRE m Figure 12: New Electric Scooters presented to collaboration with LTA works closely in promoting LTA fuel efficient vehicles by implementing numerous activities and projects. Furthermore, Samoa has submitted a proposal as its Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) project focused on the Transport sector and includes piloting electric vehicles (E- vehicles) for taxis and buses. If the proposal gets approved with funding support then harnessing renewable energy for use by electric vehicles would become a reality. 14 Figure 12 : Source- Samoa Observer website 34 Breakdown by end users of petroleum consumption in the Transport Sector In 2015 Air Transport 22" Transport Road 68",tl Figure 13: Petroleum Consumption in Transport Sector 2015

3.2 Key Issues to be addressed ■ Improving Infrastructure and Transport Network System ■ Promoting alternative modes of transport and its core benefits ■ Promoting fuel efficiency in land transport ■ Upscale research and investments in biofuels and in renewable fuels for E-vehicles ■ Enforcement of compliance with regulatory standards Development and improvement of existing transport infrastructures contributes to enhancing energy efficiency in transportation. This includes the rehabilitation of roads and bridges, roads expansions, constructing footpaths and other developments related to maritime transport infrastructures. Additionally, Climate Change Resilience measures and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management could be integrated into transport policy planning. For instance, climate proofing of roads ensures the roads can withstand extreme weather and climatic changes. Passive design features are also effective such as removal of speed humps, installation of surveillance cameras to manage car speed and the strategic placement of traffic lights. 15 Good environmental practices usually goes hand in hand with good economic practice. Apart from the common environmental benefits, public should be informed about the direct co-benefits, such as reducing consumption of fossil fuels for transport will also result in substantial financial cost savings for the individual over the lifetime. Through awareness and education, public should be encouraged to consider alternatives like using public vehicles, car-pooling Figure 14: Cycling Lanes and use of non-motorized transport eg. bicycles. Also, while advocating for such changes, benefits such as health improvements and reducing urban area road congestions and reduced travel times need to be emphasised. 15 Figure 13: Source- SERR 2015; EPCMD, Ministry of Finance & Figure 14: Source - www.google.com - cycling lanes 35 Promoting energy and/or fuel efficiency is not limited to reduction of imported fossil fuels used by transport but also contributes to achieving Samoa's NDC target. It is important to review relevant legislations to enforce the review of existing tariff structures, registration fees and licensing to include fuel efficient vehicles, and the introduction of road user charges and carbon emission limits on car imports. The review should thoroughly consider the impacts of influx of the promoted fuel efficient vehicles such as electric vehicles. Conversely, customs duty and tariffs etc. should be relooked at for imported vehicles fueled by conventional fossil fuels. Furthermore, Government should consider additional incentives to encourage imports of energy efficient vehicles. More resources should be dedicated towards research and development of alternative fuels such as biofuels and renewable energy fuelled (eg. solar) charging stations for electric vehicles. With positive steps undertaken by Government and more E-vehicle charging models available than ever, the landscape for electric vehicles in Samoa could look brighter in near future. Enforcement of the Exhaust Emission Regulations and other related policies, penalties etc. to effectively monitor vehicles and vessels on road and sea would stimulate proper servicing and maintenance systems which contributes to improved fuel consumptions and reduced emissions. 36 3. 3 Transport sub-secror plan Table 6: Outcomes, Strategies and Indicators for Transport Longer term outcome Road Transport energy efficiency policy planning improved End of Sector Plan Outcome (ESPO) 3: ENERGY EFFICIENT TRANSPORT SECTOR Intermediate Outcomes Strategies Indicators

Petroleum Longer Term Outcome: Petroleum supply, management and safety improved. End of Sector Plan Outcome: Management of Petroleum Products Enhanced. 4. 1 Status Petroleum products remain the main source of energy supply in Samoa, they account for 81 % of primary energy sources. The demand for petroleum products has increase over the last 5 years due to increases in the demand for Diesel + 21 % driven by increased usage by the power and transport market sectors and growth in Petrol usage+ 34% in the retail/transport sector. Continued growth of 4% per annum across the market sectors is forecast over the period 2016 to 2021. 60,000,000 ,----~--- - - - - To enhance the management of petroleum products 50,000,000 1 - - - - - - -- - ...--- 1 the Government acquired the ownership of all fuel 40,000,000 t storage facilities in 2003.A five year tender process is t ULP LPA ■ AGOLPA now carried out to select and award the offshore Bulk I 30,000,000 DPK LPA

This tendering process 2012 2014 2013 2015 2016 maintains a level of competition from potential Figure 15: Sales Data 2012-2016 suppliers and distributors within the region. The rationalization of supply and distribution has resulted in lower fuel prices relative to other countries in the pacific. The Government through Ministry of Finance sets petrol, diesel and kerosene (including Jet Al) prices 16 . A local company, Petroleum Product Supplies (PPS) Ltd manages the onshore terminal and distribution of petrol, diesel and DPK (Kerosene and Jet fuel). These products are imported from Singapore or Korea, is pumped from Apia Wharf via pipelines to the fuel storage tanks at the wharf and then to Sogi fuel depot. Current tank capacities are 8400 MT for diesel, 5400 MT for petrol and 2400 MT for DPK which includes Jet storage at Faleolo Airport. Savaii's fuel requirements are delivered by barge serviced from Salelologa Fuel Depot. The transportation of petroleum products to end users, service station, EPC and commercial customers is undertaken by PPS' s by road tankers. Government has secured loan funds from the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Fund for International Development to upgrade its storage facilities to meet international engineering standards and additional storage facilities has been built Figure 16: Three new Petroleum Storage to meet the increasing demand. Government has Tanks at Apia Wharf targeted a security-of-supply stored volumes reserve of 15 days. Also, to address vulnerability concerns, Climate Change and Disaster Risks and its 16 Figures 15 & 16: Source- EPCMD, Ministry of Finance 39 management are incorporated into plans to prevent any disruptions to supply. The new storage facilities constructed at Apia wharf addresses some of these concerns being separated from the main Sogi Terminal.

4.2 Key Issues to be addressed ■ Management of waste Petroleum products; ■ Legislative provisions for regulation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) price; ■ Development of Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE)standards for LPG; ■ Regulatory provisions for enforcement of HSSE standards at service stations; • Public education and awareness on petroleum consumption and its impacts; Development of waste oil policy will provide a clear pathway for the safe disposal of waste oil in a manner that it will mitigate harmful impacts on the environment. This could be addressed within the Waste Management Act administered by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The Petroleum Act 1984 with amended Act 2003 and 2015 defines 'petroleum ' as any gas, liquid, or solid compound whether used as a fuel or for lubrication purposes, which is derived wholly or in part from the refining and blending of hydrocarbon compounds. The amended Petroleum Act regulates the supply, transport and storage of all petroleum "products" (as noted above); however there is no provision for the regulation of LPG pricing. The Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) guideline exists to ensure the safety at the service stations for storing, handling and distributing petroleum products to the public. However, there is no clear governance structure of HSSE standards at the retail level and should be included in the Petroleum Act. Further review and amendment of the current Act is required to reflect development of HSSE particularly for LPG as well as the enforcement of the HSSE standards at the Service Stations. Petroleum Task Force (PTF) chaired by the Ministry of Finance is a committee that was set up to discuss, review and monitor all issues relating to service stations and ensuring that they adhere to the standards developed. Petroleum Licenses are issued annually after an inspection is carried out by the PTF to ensure that all service stations meet the minimum percentage of the HSSE standards for operation. The Petroleum Act is required to be reviewed to ensure all petroleum related matters and gaps identified are adequately addressed as well as the strengthening of the roles of the PTF and the CEO of Ministry of Finance in order to ensure enforcement of HSSE compliance requirements. This will increase the compliance of Service Station Operators and also reduce the risks of potential accidents. The consumption for petroleum products had been constantly increasing over the years due to the high demand in the transport and electricity sector. Transport sector on average consumes about 60% of the total fossil fuels followed by electricity sector at 28 % and are jointly responsible for a substantial portion of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. Informing the public with regards to Government plans in the petroleum sector and the negative impacts of fossil fuels on the environment is crucial. Emphasis on disseminating information through mainstream and social media as well as through education and awareness in public and in schools is urged. 40

Institutional Setting and Governance Framework Longer Term Outcome: Climate and Disaster resilience management integrated into energy planning and implementation; End of Sector Plan Outcome: Coordination of Energy Sector improved. The Energy sector remains one of the key sectors of the national economy as it enables provision of goods and services in all other respective sectors. Also, provision of affordable and reliable supply of energy including electricity is an important catalyst to developments. As such, Samoa needs to be progressively strengthening its institutional frameworks and governance mechanisms to continue providing conducive, all-encompassing, stable and transparent platform for further developments in the economy.

5.1 Institutional Setting The Institutional setup within the Energy sector consists of different ministries, corporations and organisations that administer various energy related resources, projects and services at different levels under the guidance of a National Energy Coordination Committee (NECC), supported by various ministries of the Government. Figure 17: Energy Sector Institutional setup The NECC was established in 2010 to provide overall guidance to key stakeholders and administrators within the energy .sector. The core function of the NECC is advising and contributing to the establishment of a strong governance framework with clear policies, plans, legislations, institutional and organisational arrangements that are all interlinked as well as creating a harmonised engaging environment for regional entities, international organisations and development partners. Main roles and responsibilities of the NECC includes; overseeing energy sector management and ensure a coordinated effort by all, review and endorse activities in both private and public sector, and recommend initiatives and activities that call for government approval. In situations requiring urgent decisions in relation to technical energy matters, a sub-NECC is convened to appraise and determine the course of action, which then is recommended to the NECC. The NECC and sub-NECC consists of representatives from all key government ministries and agencies.

5.2 Lead and Supporting Agencies The lead agency for the sector is the Ministry of Finance, Energy Policy and Coordination Management Division (EPCMD). Aptly referred to as the Energy Division, is responsible for overall 43 planning, coordination and oversight of national energy related activities as well as responsible for the implementation of the Energy Sector Plan in collaboration with relevant stakeholders. The EPCMD also serves as the secretariat to the NECC. Other responsibility of the EPCMD is to administer the Petroleum Act, which includes the issuance of petroleum licenses, coordination and circulation of monthly fuel price notices, collection and reconciliation of petroleum levy payments as well as the management of funding arrangements for petroleum infrastructure/s to name a few. Monthly spot checks of petrol service stations are carried out to ensure they adhere to the price notices and the Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) standards. Other duties of EPCMD include but are not limited to, development of energy supply and demand database, collection and compilation of all energy related information in the country which is then published as annual Energy Review Report. Other key partners supporting the implementation of the sector plan includes: • Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE), Renewable Energy Division • Ministry of Works, Transport and Infrastructure (MWTI) • Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa (SROS) • Ministry for Revenue (MfR.), Customs Department • Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Labour (MCIL) • Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development (MWCSD) • Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF), Crops Division • Electric Power Corporation (EPC) • Attorney General's Office (AGO) • Land Transport Authority (LTA) • Samoa Trust Estates Corporation (STEC) • Electricity Regulator - Office of the Regulator (OOTR) • Others - Various other agencies not specified above also contribute to implementation of the Energy Sector Plan such as the Samoa Bureau of Statistics, Chamber of Commerce, Petroleum Products Suppliers as well as the Private Sector, NGOs etc. 5. 3 Governance Framework There are a number of instruments such as policies, strategies, institutions, legislations, and regulations etc that have been formulated over time to govern the energy sector. A key national strategy to which the Energy Sector Plan is closely aligned is the Strategy for the Development of Samoa (SDS) 2017 - 2021, with a particular focus on Key Outcome 12: Quality Energy Supplyand that also is the basis of Samoa Energy Sector Plan (SESP) 2017 - 2022.Other policies and legislations with strong linkages to the energy sector are highlighted below. 5. 3. 1 Policies • National Infrastructure Strategic Plan (NISP) • Transport Sector Plan 2014 - 2019 • National Policy of Combating Climate Change 2007 • Greenhouse Gas Abatement Strategy 2008 - 2018

5.3.2 Legislations • Electric Power Corporation Act 1980 • Electricity Act 20 I 0 • Petroleum Act 1984 (amended 2003 and 2015) 44 • Oil Fuel Supply Act 1974 • Land Transport Authority Act 2007 • Planning and Urban Management Act 2004 • Disaster and Emergency Management Act 2007 5. 4 Key Issues to be addressed • Integrated Planning including Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency • Development of an overarching Energy Legislation • Strengthening of Institutional and Governance frameworks • Information and data sharing for national planning Renewable energy and energy efficiency needs to be incorporated as much as possible into all project planning phases and government initiatives extending beyond the Energy Sector such that the overall national development goals as outlined in the SDS are met. Specifically, inclusion of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency into building codes for both commercial and residential buildings will provide positive long term effects. Development of a comprehensive Energy Bill that will outline a legal framework for energy sector operations and provide greater clarity and certainty to investors in the Energy Sector as well as private investors, is required. A particular focus on the processes for entering into contractual obligations is essential to minimise risks by incorporating terms and conditions in Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for Independent Power Producers (IPPs). Such legal framework will promote investments within the Energy Sector. Additionally, amendments to some of the existing legislations may be required to ensure consistency with the overarching energy legislation. The Institutional Framework for sector governance and coordination is adequate for the current direction of the energy sector. However, continued strengthening is still required in relation to roles and responsibilities, staffing resources and or future expansion of the EPCMD in improving the governance of the sector. As such, a number of legislative and regulatory gaps have been identified under the petroleum sub-sector and to address those, mainly the Petroleum Act and the Oil Fuel Supply Act needs to be reviewed. Energy review reports are published on an annual basis providing the Government, businesses and communities with information into the status of energy demand, supply and consumption in Samoa. However, accuracy and availability of data can hinder the publication of these reports. Thus, it is prudent that dissemination of data by key agencies is done in a timely manner. Something to be considered in the long term is the establishment of a Ministry of Energy or a Department of Energy whose main functions would be to formulate energy policies, regulatory frameworks and legislation, and oversee their implementation as well as the development, processing, utilisation and management of energy sources, with the overall mission to ensure energy security, promotion of environmentally-friendly energy and access to affordable and reliable energy for all. 45

Details on plans outlining the outcomes, indicators, outputs, inputs, activities, responsibilities and timelines are provided in Annex 1 (outcomes mapping matrix) and Annex 2 (M&E plan). 48 6. MONITORING AND EVALUATION To ensure the effective and efficient implementation of the sector plan, the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the SESP will be overseen by the National Energy Coordination Committee with the EPCMD as its technical arm acting as the Secretariat. The M&E will ensure that the strategic directions are achieving the identified end of sector plan outcomes for each of the sub-sectors. The M&E matrix is attached as Annex 1 in which highlights the indicators and those responsible with the collection of the data. The costing and funding of this sector plan will be from the respective stakeholders budget under its own ministry's and agency's budget and not limited to that but also to seek funding from potential development partners to assist with the funding of some activities. Some of these activities could include the capacity building across the sector, awareness programs and consultations, technical assistance, equipments and any other form of assistance that is required as stated in the outcome mapping for the energy sector plan. A Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) will be developed and will be continuously updated accordingly depending to available funds and the implementation. 49
