Grants of up to $100,000 are being offered for green energy initiatives and there is a rebate of 40 per cent on electric vehicle imports for a greener Samoa under the Samoa Emissions
Rebates are available for electric vehicles (EVs) and commercial rooftop solar installations. EV rebates apply to cars no older than 10 years, with a focus on reducing transportation-related emissions.
The electric vehicles will be used for passenger transport, with 20 minibuses allocated for this purpose. The project also includes establishing a network of charging stations, training programs
Samoa''s share, valued at US$15.5 million, has enabled the country to procure electric vehicles and establish charging stations, public awareness campaigns, and capacity-building programs.
The 20 PHEVs are part of a larger fleet of 76-vehicles planned under the CAP-IT initiative. These will be allocated to various government ministries to enhance public service delivery while reducing both
Samoa offers environmentally efficient electric vehicles. With one local car dealer attempting to attract locals with their imported zero emission Japanese vehicles, owning an electric
This significant milestone is a result of the collaboration between the Government of Samoa, the Government of Japan, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The project supports the achievement of Samoa''s enhanced NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions) which is a climate action plan to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts, for the
The Pacific Transformation initiative — funded by the Government of Japan — aims to do exactly that: create a complete ecosystem that will enable Samoa to shift from carbon-based
In addition to the launching of 76 electric vehicles, charging stations and two documents on climate action pathways were released as well. One document deals with electric vehicles and the
