Under the Accelerating Renewable Energy Integration and Sustainable Energy (ARISE) project, supported by the World Bank, Maldives is seeking contractors for installation of 40 MWh capacity Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), across 18 electricity grids representing 19 islands/cities.
While ASPIRE project addresses the need to increase PV generation in Maldives through private sector investment, Maldives envisions an ambitious goal of “carbon neutrality by 2030” along with an immediate target for 2023 to increase the share of renewable energy by 20% compared to 2018 levels.
Reliance on imported diesel for power generation, the lack of economies of scale, and poor quality of infrastructure have resulted in a high cost of electricity in the Maldives. Maldives has a target to reach net-zero emissions by the year 2030 with international support.
Maldives has a target to reach net-zero emissions by the year 2030 with international support. World Bank has been contributing to a clean energy transition in the Maldives. The Maldives has always been the Land of Sun, Sea and Sand. Each year, more than a million tourists explore the sunny beaches and blue ocean.
The ASPIRE 5 MW project (Phase Two) signed at $10.9 cents in December 2020 not only signals one of the lowest tariffs for a Small Island Developing State (SIDS), but also helps the Maldives gain the pole position in trying to achieve their renewable goals.
