The commercial sector, led by tourism, is the largest electricity-consuming sector in the Northern Mariana Islands. 53 CNMI hotels use electricity for air conditioning, water heating, water purification, and lighting.
There have been proposals for several large solar energy projects in the CNMI's Office of Planning and Development in recent years. Currently, a 20-megawatt solar PV facility on Saipan is in development, which will be the first utility-scale solar farm in the territory and will include a battery electric storage system.
A large 20-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) facility on Saipan is in the preliminary stages of development. CNMI's electric utility generates electricity at five diesel-fueled power plants (three on Saipan and one each on Tinian and Rota) and the territory’s entire population has access to electricity.
