American Samoa Energy Action Plan

Overview: This document outlines actions being taken to reduce American Samoa's petroleum consumption. It describes the four near-term strategies selected by the American Samoa Renewable Energy Committee (ASREC) during action-planning workshops conducted in May 2016, and describes the steps that will need to be taken to implement those strategies. In August 2016, following the action-planning workshops, ASREC adopted a goal of having 50% of American Samoa's energy come from renewable energy resources by 2025 and 100% by 2040. All of the strategies in this action plan support those targets.
