Federated States of Micronesia

The Micronesian Energy Association would like to report on CNMI’s renewable energy efforts, Guam Energy Task Force, RMI activities and update on Green Energy Micronesia initiative . This report is intended to update the process on CNMI with integrate renewable energy and existing power system. The information presented can be used as a template for regional islands to adopt renewable energy as part of the INDCs (Intended National Determined Contributions) effort to reduce the utilization of fossil fuel.

This documents consists of the technical specification for Lot 1 of FSM (Kosrae state).The purpose of the project is to deliver, install and commission 5 solar generators connected to the public grid, with a total peak power of 45.25kWp (+/- 5%). The Technical Specifications document defines the technical conditions for the supplying, installation and training related to the full implementation of the 5 grid connected solar generators (including construction of 1 car park shading structure).

A short invitation to tenders for the supply, installation and commissioning of off-grid solar photovoltaics generators. The purpose of the document defines the technical conditions for the supplying, installation and training related to the full implementation of the solar systems in Yap, Chuuk and Pohnpei States. The performance of the present contract includes all the installation work related to the photovoltaic generators as well as all annex works and accessories required for the systems.

Short inspection report to the FSM (Pohnpei) . The aim of the inspections carried out by the REP-5 Programme Management Unit (PMU) in Pohnpei, Chuuk and Yap was to ensure that the supply and installation of the 161 off- grid PV systems were done following the agreement terms and conditions. The PV systems were designed and implemented as rooftop installations at seven sites; as flat roof installations at six sites; and as ground-mounted installations at three sites.

Off-grid solar installation inspection report for Yap. The aim of the inspections carried out by the REP-5 Programme Management Unit (PMU) over the period of November 2008 to March 2009 in Pohnpei, Chuuk and Yap was to ensure that the supply and installation of the 161 off- grid PV systems were done. The PV systems were designed and implemented as rooftop installations at seven sites; as flat roof installations at six sites; and as ground-mounted installations at three sites.

Short mission report to the Federated States of Micronesia from November to December in Yap State. The aim of the mission to FSM carried out by Mr. Brewer and Ms. Legros was to visit and assess the suitability for renewable energy systems of seven of the outer islands in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).

Short mission report to the FSM, Pohnpei State. The aim of the mission carried out by Mr. Brewer and Ms. Legros was to visit and assess the suitability for renewable energy systems of seven of the outer islands in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) which are Sapwuafic, Nukuoro, Kapingamarangi, Onoun, Satawan, Asor and Fadrai. The overall assessment was to examine the potential to supply electricity to the health centres and schools on these islands using renewable energy technologies.

Reports on conditions of project buildings in Pohnpei State. The assessment aimed to examine the condition of the physical structure of the selected buildings that will receive a PV system under the REP-5 programme. There are plans to put a PV solar system on buildings on each of the 5 main outer atolls in  Pohnpei:

Mission report to the Federated States of Micronesia from June-July, 2007 as part of the REP-5 programme. The following is an overview of content captured in this report:

1. Yap visit: from 10 to 15 June 2007, recommendations for Yap State PV mini-grids

• Fadrai Project Review.
• Asor Project Review. Both reviews focused on load estimate, sizing and cost estimate, recommendations, load forecast, PV system sizing and budget summary

2.Chuuk Visit: 15 to 24 June 2007. 

Short term mission report to the FSM (Chuuk States) between November - December 2006. This report has been prepared as the Mission Report by Mr. Duncan Brewer, the PMU Short Term Expert (STE), who visited the FSM States of Chuuk, Yap and Pohnpei between the 19th November and the 20th December 2006.
