While reasonable attempts were made to provide accurate data, this document was prepared using data from multiple sources, including public sources.
Micronesia''s energy consumption is characterized by a heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels and diesel generators, as the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) lacks domestic fossil fuel resources.
Renewable energy in Micronesia still has a long way to go. The country still has an overwhelming reliance on diesel generators, and most households are still without electricity.
