Project Name

Solar Photovoltaic Plant

The project aims to set up a 600kW solar photovoltaic plant in Pohnpei, allowing the Federated States of Micronesia to reduce its dependence on diesel in electricity generation by up to 10% during peak times. This will result in the direct saving of more than 317,425 liters of diesel fuel and the reduction of 876 tons of CO₂ emissions. The project will also support the local capacity building in renewable energy sector through recruiting local personnel for the construction and operation of the station.
