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.
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).
In 2014, the first 1.5 MW solar project under ASPIRE only had four investors bids, and resulted in a high power purchase price (PPA) of 21 US cents per unit of electricity, indicating a lack of interest from investors in investing in sustainable projects in the Maldives.
This will reduce the Maldives' import bill by approximately US$ 30 million annually, with a total project lifetime saving of US$ 750 million over 25 years. These projects are expected to significantly reduce the government's fuel subsidy expenditure, thereby decreasing the nation's reliance on fossil fuels and the fiscal burden this creates.
The inauguration of the 5 MW solar project on December 7, 2022 under the ASPIRE project has been a game changer in the energy transition journey of the Maldives . This journey, which started in 2014,
