3. Electrification of 90% of rural households by 2020.
4. Enhance the supply side energy efficiency of the FSM by 20% by 2015.

The "National Objective" is: "to promote the sustainable social and economic development of FSM through the provision and utilization of cost-effective, safe, reliable and sustainable energy services."
