This webinar provides an overview of the evolving power system in Samoa as the country increases its integration of renewable energy resources. The
presentation introduces the structure of the national grid operated by Electric Power Corporation Samoa and highlights recent operational
challenges, including generation constraints, grid reliability, and the current energy situation. Particular attention is given to the technical
challenges of operating a small island power system with high renewable penetration. Key lessons learned and potential strategies for maintaining
reliable system operation during this transition are also discussed.
