ADB approved the Yap Renewable Energy Development Project in June 2013 for $11.2 million. This project was to support the Yap State Public Services Corporation (YSPSC), the public utility responsible for power generation in the state, in developing renewable energy and ensuring a stronger supply-side energy efficiency of the electricity grid. The project was to include the (i) construction of 1.4 megawatts of wind power, (ii) construction of about 300 kilowatts (kW) of grid-connected solar power, (iii) installation of a 1.8 megawatts diesel generator to improve the efficiency of power generation facilities, and (iv) capacity building of YSPSC and the communities.
