Micronesia, Federated States of: Clean Energy Project - Project Readiness Financing
The PRF will support the FSM in preparing future energy projects and ensuring implementation readiness, thereby facilitating the timely and cost-effective achievement of the ensuing project's outcomes and outputs. To achieve a high level of project readiness of the ensuing project and test project approach and advanced technologies, the PRF will include: (i) consulting services for upstream project pipeline development, sector studies, policies, strategies and investments for ensuing projects; (ii) necessary site surveys, investigations and detailed engineering, and feasibility studies for prioritized projects; (iii) pilot testing of project designs, including the cost of equipment and works to examine alternate approaches for an accelerated clean energy transition; and (iv) capacity building for project start up activities.
