The SESP has been developed by the MOF (EPCMD) as the sector coordinator and lead agency for the energy sector. The development of this plan was guided by the 2015 Sector Planning Manual for Samoa, and has been compiled through a participatory approach and sector wide consultations with various stakeholders. Initial consultations were conducted with our sector agencies and stakeholders to review the SESP 2012-2016 and to formulate the participatory outcomes mapping for the 2nd SESP 2017-2022 in June, 2017 followed by public consultations conducted in both Upolu and Savaii in July, 2017. The list of stakeholders consulted is attached as The latest data collected is for the year 2015 and the data collection for 2016 is currently ongoing. This has been one of the main challenges faced by the sector coordinating unit, collecting the data on a timely basis and ensuring its accuracy is very important. Hence the review is based from the 2015 report as this is the latest report available. The Samoa Energy Review Report (SERR) 2015*, recorded the estimated energy generated from primary sources was around 108.3 ktoe. Of these, it was estimated that 14% of the energy generated was from biomass, 83% by petroleum products and the remaining 3% from renewable energy sources. It was also recorded that 22% of the total primary energy supplied was transformed into electricity generation. The overall performance of the key subsectors in relations to their expected outcomes have been good although there is room for improvement. Problematic factors in relations to performance gaps in the sector have been identified for pragmatic resolutions in the future.
