In Guam, the consumption of energy is heavily influenced by its remote location. Almost all energy is reliant on imports of petroleum products for use in transport and electricity. Guam does not have any domestic production of conventional fuels such as oil, natural gas, or coal.
Introduction This report summarizes the currently available data on Guam’s energy sector as of December 2023. It describes primary energy consumption, end uses, energy production, relevant policies, and key challenges, including details on the electric power and transportation sectors.
With no indigenous fossil energy resources, Guam is reliant on imported fuel for their energy and transportation needs, with most of the imported fuel coming from Asia. The Guam Power Authority (GPA) is a public-power utility and autonomous agency of the government of Guam.
In 2019, P.L. 35-46 raised the RPS to 50% net electricity sales by December 31, 2035, and 100% by 2045. Regulations are described in Guam Code § 8311. GPA's Clean Energy Plan (2022 Integrated Resource Plan) roadmaps a path to 100% clean, reliable, resilient, affordable energy by 2045 and builds upon the 2008 IRP.
The U.S. Navy and Air Force have significant land holdings and operations that impact both the economy and energy consumption of the island. As previously noted, the U.S. Navy alone is the island’s largest energy consumer, representing 20% of electricity sales (The Bureau of Statistics and Plans Guam 2022).
The Guam Energy Office, as a line agency within the Executive Branch, implements energy programs for the benefit of the island community using grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy – the State Energy Program (SEP) and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).

Solar energy is widely available in Armenia due to its geographical position and is considered a developing industry. In 2022 less than 2% of Armenia’s electricity was generated by solar power. The use of solar energy in Armenia is gradually increasing. In 2019, the European Union announced plans to assist Armenia towards developing its solar power capacity. The initiat. . According to the , Armenia has an average of about 1720 (kWh) solar energy flow per square meter of horizontal surface annually and ha. . As of April 2019 ten 1 MW strong solar stations are installed. Solar and wind stations account for less than 1% of total installed electricity generation capacities. In April 2019 it was announced that German company Das En. In this article, we address the current state of solar energy in Armenia, potential investments and industrial developments in the solar energy sector. [pdf]

In February 2022, two days after Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine requested that American aerospace company SpaceX activate their Starlink satellite internet service in the country, to replace internet and communication networks degraded or destroyed during the war. Starlink has since been used by Ukrainian civilians, government and military. The satellite servic. . is a branch of American aerospace company . They operate a large in consisting of thousands of satellites. Starlink satellites regularly since 2. . Starlink activated their service in Ukraine in February 2022 two days after it was requested to do so waiving the usual monthly for the country. Starlink kits delivered to Ukraine included the outdoor-mou. [pdf]
A Ukrainian serviceman stands next to a vehicle that carries a Starlink satellite internet system near the front line in Donetsk region, Ukraine, on February 27, 2023. In recent months, Russian social media channels run by crowdfunders have been increasingly open about Starlink purchases.
In February, Musk responded to Ukrainian claims the Russians were using Starlink by stating that his company did not do business with the Russian government, and that the system would not work in Russia. But Starlink was unclear if the technology might work in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine.
The Starlink internet service has provided a significant frontline advantage to Ukraine’s smaller military since the 2022 invasion, permitting its forces to share real-time drone feeds between units, and communicate in areas where combat has disrupted cellphone service.
Russia said Starlink was not certified in their country and accordingly could not be officially supplied in Russia and was not officially used there. Similarly to SpaceX's terminals, DJI 's drones are sold in Russia without the company knowing or agreeing with the sales.
The standard package of satellite Internet by Starlink costs $110 per month. You also need to purchase equipment worth $599. Since August 24, Ukraine has received a special price: a $60 subscription fee and $385 for the equipment. The preferential price will be valid until the pricing policy is revised next time.
