This Grid Stabilisation project was identified as the third highest priority project in Samoa's NDC Implementation Roadmap and Investment Plan (2022).Close to 60 percent of the Samoa's electricity supply is now being produced by renewable sources. However, the amount of energy from solar panels is currently being restricted on the main grid on Upolu due to grid stabilization issues.There is an opportunity for an **innovative business model** where the utility engages a private entity to install and operate the batteries. This model would be the first of a kind in the Pacific and would harness private sector expertise, decrease investment for the Government owned utility, promote competition in the market for DER, and be the first step in moving towards a dynamic electricity system that is capable of supporting two-way power flow.A private entity would be competitively procured by the national utility in Samoa, to finance, install, operate and maintain the distributed batteries across the network. The private entity will charge and discharge the batteries based on the provisions set out in the contract which will be designed to stabilise and optimise the grid. The utility company will pay the private entity overtime with revenue collected from customers.

该电网稳定项目被确定为萨摩亚国家发展委员会实施路线图和投资计划（2022年）中的第三高优先项目。萨摩亚近60%的电力供应目前由可再生能源生产。然而，由于电网稳定问题，目前乌波卢的主电网限制了太阳能电池板的能量。有一个 ** 创新商业模式 ** 的机会，公用事业公司聘请私人实体安装和运营电池。这一模式将是太平洋地区的第一个此类模式，将利用私营部门的专业知识，减少对政府拥有的公用事业的投资，促进DER市场的竞争，并成为迈向能够支持双向电力流动的动态电力系统的第一步。操作和维护整个网络中的分布式电池。私营实体将根据合同中规定的条款对电池进行充电和放电，这些条款旨在稳定和优化电网。公用事业公司将用从客户那里收取的收入支付私人实体加班费。
