ENGIE EPS has announced to build a two "Solar-after-Sunset" systems with combined capacity of more than 50 MW solar PV with 300 MWh of battery energy storage in Guam. The project is expected to be operational in July 2022, generating over 85 GWh of clean dispatchable energy annually, in line with the island’s target of sourcing over 25% of energy from renewables.

Guam Power Authority (GPA) has selected ENGIE as successful bidder for the construction of two Solar-plus-Storage projects under a 20-year power purchase agreement. The Guam Power Authority (GPA) is considering ENGIE, the lowest bidder amongst those qualified in the competitive tender process, for contract award.

ENGIE EPS will supply the innovative battery storage design and act as full energy storage solution provider and system integrator, supported by its strategic partner Samsung SDI.

ENGIE will work with GPA to obtain the approvals for the 20-year power purchase agreement by the Consolidated Commission on Utilities and the Guam Public Utilities Commission. Formal award is expected by GPA after this process is completed and at the end of the regulatory recourse period.
