The Electric Power Corporation (EPC) has issued a statement addressing the recent power outages that have affected Samoa, particularly during peak hours from 6 AM to 11 AM and 6 PM to 11 PM. EPC has outlined the causes of the disruptions and the steps being taken to restore reliable service to all customers.
Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata’afa said Samoa was in the grips of an “energy crisis” caused by storm damage and failing machinery at a crucial diesel power plant. Fiame said more than 15 percent could be wiped off the national economy as power rationing took hold and businesses were forced to shut.
The Electric Power Corporation remains focused on resolving the current issues swiftly and building a more resilient power infrastructure to support Samoa’s future needs. For more information, visit EPC’s official website at or contact their customer service team for assistance.
Renewable Energy Expansion – A 10 MW solar farm with a 10 MWh battery storage system is set to launch in December 2025, increasing energy capacity by 20%. Conclusion The government and EPC are committed to strengthening and expanding power generation to ensure a stable and reliable electricity supply for Samoa.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
