Context
This technical assistance project has three primary technical divisions: (i) power
generation using solar
energy, (ii) power generation using wind energy, and (iii) improved fuel efficiency through the use of
a modern diesel engine of a size that is best suited to the base load seen
by Yap State Public Service
Corporation. This is an environmentally friendly project that will result in substantial energy saving and
greenhouse gas emission reduction and improve the energy infrastructure of Yap State. In addition
to the significant total savings
in gallons of fuel per year, the prevention of associated pollutants from
combustion of fossil fuels entering the local airshed is significant.
