The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) consists of the Government of FSM (GoFSM) and the four states of Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Yap.
The project will also include a hybrid PV-diesel mini-grid and solar-home-systems in Walung village, a remote part of Kosrae island. Investments in Walung will include 60 kW of PV, a 30 kW diesel generator, a 30kW/160kWh BESS, and multiple 2.5 kW/4kWh solar home systems.
Project investments will include solar photovoltaic (PV) and mini-grid investments for Kosrae Utilities Authority (KUA) in Kosrae, and (ii) PV and a battery energy storage system (BESS) for Yap State Public Services Corporation (YSPSC) in Yap. The scope of investments and estimated associated costs for each State are presented in Table 1.
