The Maldives solar project is a 36 MW solar power project and 50 MWh of battery energy storage solutions development across various islands in the Maldives. It also includes grid modernization for the integration of variable renewable energy with the grid, which will be financed under the proposed AIIB loan.
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.
The nation's reliance on imported fossil fuels has long been a significant economic burden. By harnessing solar energy, the Maldives can reduce these imports and invest more in local infrastructure. The launch of the floating solar island is just the beginning, as Abraxas Power has ambitious plans to expand the project in the years ahead.
These are calculated based on 2011 data for all the countries except for obtaining the SIDS average where 2009 figures are used. The main primary energy supply in Maldives is still dependent on imported fossil fuel (99.9%). Bulk of this imported fuel is diesel and the main energy used for production of electricity and transport.
