Micronesia has 3 power plants in this atlas, with 1 MW of reported capacity (reported for 1 of them). The largest listed plant is Wind farm Yap (1 MW, wind; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are hydro, solar and wind. Grid operators listed here include Chuuk Public Utility Corporation and Kosrae Utilities Authority.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
Grid operators and electricity market in Micronesia

Who regulates
No separate independent regulator is listed: the government or the utility itself sets tariffs and technical rules.
Who controls the grid
State utilities run separate grids on each island state.
No power exchange: the utility produces or buys electricity and sells it at set tariffs.
Regional grid
Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.
What does “Island system” mean?
A small grid that is not connected to a larger network. One utility typically runs generation and distribution, often relying on imported fuel, with solar and batteries increasingly added.
