Samoa: Energy intensity: how much energy does it use per unit of GDP? Click to open interactive version. Energy is a large contributor to CO 2 – the burning of fossil fuels accounts for around three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions. So, reducing energy consumption can inevitably help to reduce emissions.
American Samoa has limited resources and, therefore, suffers economically without assistance from abroad. Investing in energy efficiency and renewable energy is an opportunity to alter tha t perception. This strategic energy plan prepares American Samoa to harvest its abundant energy resources for the betterment of all its citizens.
American Samoa uses imported fossil fuels for almost all of the territory's energy needs, including transportation, drinking and waste water treatment, and most (about 97% in 2020) of its electric power generation. Electricity prices in American Samoa vary with world petroleum prices.
Fuel for American Samoa comes from Singapore with Busan, South Korea as an alternate provider if needed. In the case of fuel disruption, Pacific Energy prioritizes serving ASPA to ensure power and water treatment services are not interrupted (Pacific Energy representative, personal communication, August 9, 2023).
American Samoa’s energy sector relies almost entirely on imported fossil fuels, although renewables represent a small but growing power system contribution. The territory possesses substantial solar energy resources, as well as wind and biomass resource potential.
Although energy burdens pose a real challenge in American Samoa, the territory is working to advance energy justice. For example, the Territorial Energy Office provides home energy efficiency programs to help reduce energy costs for low-income households.
Average U.S. and American Samoa Electricity Prices (2022) ASPA rates are down slightly as of January 2024—approximately $0.41/kWh for residential and commercial customers and $0.38/kWh for industrial customers.

In 2021, solar power accounted for about 11% of American Samoa’s electricity generating capacity. American Samoa is less than 1,000 miles south of the equator and has abundant solar energy resources.
