Granite Power to supply renewable energy solution to Samoan EPC

Australian power company Granite Power has signed an agreement with the Samoan Electric Power Corporation (EPC) for the installation and management of recycling technology for the generation of renewable and sustainable energy, primarily to remote and off-the-grid locations.

Granite’s Granex technology, designed and built in Australia in partnership with University of Newcastle, harnesses low-temperature (50–400°C) waste heat from existing power platforms through advanced solar and geothermal harvesting. It is said to enable customers to reduce exhaust emissions per megawatt hour.

Commenting on the Samoan EPC agreement, Stephen de Belle, CEO of Granite Power Limited, said, “Remote and off-grid entities are continually looking at methodologies to improve their carbon profile through renewable and sustainable energy production. But as always, continuity of power supply to meet their domestic and commercial needs is paramount. The agreement with the EPC will provide Samoans with a safe, environmental solution that increases their power output by recycling the heat of exhaust emissions from their current power generation. This is good news for the Samoan people and good news for the environment in reaching their commitments to established renewable energy targets.”
