One of Samoa’s main goals for the energy sector is to achieve 70.0 % renewable energy use by the end of 2031, as stipulated in the Pathway for the Development of Samoa (PDS 2021/22- 2025/26). The Energy Account also provides statistics to assess and monitor the progress of that goal.
1. Introduction This publication is the 2nd Energy Accounts ever produced, following the compilation of the first Experimental Energy Account for Samoa using the 2016 Samoa Energy Review by the Ministry of Finance. The Energy Accounts 2020 presents estimates on physical supply and use of energy (in joules1) for Samoa.

Hence, Overall Total Electricity Production is estimated at 609.2 TJ (Refer PSUT). Conversion: 1 kWh = 3.6 Megajoules; then divide by 1000,000 to convert into Terajoules; or simply divide the kWh by 277,778 to get Terajoules. Note: Electricity Industry own uses and losses.
