Technical FAQs 4

Why solar PV with storage in Maldives?

Solar PV with storage has proven suitable and competitive for Maldives' high penetration of renewable energy (POISED type B projects), with an average fuel savings of 25%. The concept design of hybrid systems (efficient diesel generators + solar PV plants + energy storage) has resulted in success for Maldives.

What is the potential for the production of electricity in Maldives?

The potential for producing electricity in Maldives lies primarily in ocean energy. This includes marine current energy, wave energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). Further feasibility studies are needed to determine the real potential and the best technological pathways and costs of these options.

How much does a solar project cost in Maldives?

In 2022, 63 investor expressed interest in the third 11 MW solar project in the remote islands of Maldives, and a record low price of 9.8 US cents was received. This is one of the lowest tariffs for any small island developing state (SIDS).

Will a 5 MW solar installation make Maldives a popular destination?

Now, one of the first sights for any of the 1.7 million tourists visiting the Maldives will be that of the 5 MW solar installation on the highway linking the airport island to Male and its satellite town of Hulhumale.
