The American Samoa Power Authority (Aspa) was awarded a $200,000 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior Insular Affairs under the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories federal grant program (CFDA 15.875). The funding will support Aspa in developing qualified technical personnel to address challenges facing American Samoa's utilities due to climate change. Specifically, higher average temperatures have led to increased water system non-revenue water of approximately 60%, requiring infrastructure and operational upgrades. Climate change has also resulted in less rainfall, higher temperatures, and more severe tropical storms and cyclones. This threatens serious water shortages and has reduced the quality of some fresh water aquifers. The grant aims to train Aspa personnel to strengthen the vulnerable power and water distribution systems through activities such as increasing water wells, expanding distribution systems, and developing new water resources. The funding period is from August 15, 2022 to September 30, 2025.
