Infrastructure Development Plan FY2016-FY2025
Overall Summary: 
The Infrastructure Development Plan FY2016-FY2025 covers the infrastructure in ten sectors: electric power, water/wastewater systems, solid waste management, road and pedestrian facilities, maritime transportation, air transportation, telecommunications, education, health and government administrative buildings. The priority infrastructure development projects that make up the majority of the Plan have been identified and prioritized by each of the governments through a structured and transparent process to produce project listings that best meet their development needs over the next 10 years. This included assessing the priority development projects against nine strategic objectives to ensure that they make a strong contribution to one or more of the objectives associated with the FSM’s economic development, social development, environment and institutional capacity.
Access
Energy access action plan: 
Project C 1 – Weno Electric Power Distribution Improvements (EP/1). [...] Project Description/Scope: Improve the reliability and security of electric power distribution by extending the network by around 20,000’ to provide additional network connectivity and fault tolerance. Agencies Responsible: Chuuk Public Utilities Corporation. Project Objectives/ Outcomes: Provide more reliable and secure electric power supply to consumers.
Efficiency
EE targets: 
The priority projects are also aligned with the major 2020 targets in the National Energy Policy for renewable energy sources to be at least 30 percent of total energy production and for a 50 percent increase in electric power efficiency.
Renewable Energy
RE action plans: 
Chuuk has a program to increase the proportion of electric power sourced from renewable sources as well as undertaking energy efficiency programs at a number of levels, all of which will contribute to a declining reliance on imported fuel oils for electric power generation. --- Project C 3 – Renewable Energy Expansion - Phase 1 (EP/3). [...] Project Description/Scope: Increase the contribution of renewable energy to Chuuk’s electric power needs by developing 1 MW of solar power. Agencies Responsible: Chuuk Public Utilities Corporation. Project Objectives/ Outcomes: Reduce Chuuk’s reliance on imported fuel for electric power generation. Project C 4 – Renewable Energy Expansion - Phase 2 (EP/4). [...] Project Description/Scope: Increase the contribution of renewable energy to Chuuk’s electric power needs. Agencies Responsible: Chuuk Public Utilities Corporation. Project Objectives/ Outcomes: Reduce Chuuk’s reliance on imported fuel for electric power generation.
Energy Supply and Infrastructure
Infrastructure development priorities: 
Project C 2 – Tonoas Electric Power Distribution Improvements (EP/2). [...] Project Description/Scope: Improve the network on Tonoas to distribute electric power generated by Petrocorp’s copra facility to consumers on the island. Agencies Responsible: Chuuk Public Utilities Corporation. Project Objectives/ Outcomes: Provide the benefits of electric power generated by Petrocorp to the Tonoas community.
