Energy Master Plans for the Federated States of Micronesia
Overall Summary: 
The Energy Master Plans for the Federated States of Micronesia present the Energy Master Plans for each of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), and for the nation.
Access
Energy access targets: 
The plans will provide electricity access, at good quality service standards, to more than 80 percent of FSM households by 2020 and to almost every household by 2023. Summary of National-level Outcomes of State Energy Master Plans: Electricity Access (HH): 2018: 67%; 2020: 82%; 2027: 100%; 2037: 100%.
Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
The plans achieve FSM’s RE, diesel reduction, and emissions reduction objectives.
RE targets: 
Summary of National-level Outcomes of State Energy Master Plans: RE Percentage: 2018: 19%; 2020: 44%; 2027: 63%; 2037: 84%.
Environment
Energy environmental priorities: 
The plans achieve FSM’s RE, diesel reduction, and emissions reduction objectives.
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
Summary of National-level Outcomes of State Energy Master Plans: Electricity CO2 Emissions (tonnes): 2018: 43,490; 2025: 21,980*; 2027: 21,980; 2037: 15,769.
Energy Supply and Infrastructure
Energy supply priorities: 
Summary of National-level Outcomes of State Energy Master Plans: Diesel Use (million gallons): 2018: 4.2; 2020: 2.9; 2027: 2.1; 2037: 1.5.
Energy mix: 
Fossil fuels (liquid petroleum fuels) will continue to play a key role in electricity generation for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, there is technical potential to increase the use of RE (and hence reduce the use of fossil fuels), in-line with the National Energy Policy’s (NEP’s) objective.
