The Republic of Palau has announced an agreement with Engie to create the world's largest microgrid. The 100 MW Armonia project will combine solar power generation and storage, enabling the island nation to beat its targets of producing 22% of its power from renewable energy by 2025 and reducing emissions by 45% from 2005 levels. The scheme, which Engie said will be the largest microgrid in the world, will combine 35 MW solar capacity and 45 MWh in energy storage with the island's existing diesel generation, enabling Palau to gradually phase out the latter.
