Key Activities

Electricity across the Maldives has historically relied on diesel generators due to the absence of a centralized grid connecting scattered islands. This project replaces diesel generation with renewable solar power through rooftop PV and floating solar arrays engineered for marine environments—designed to handle saltwater exposure and tropical conditions.

By displacing fossil-fuel electricity on isolated island grids, the project generates measurable and verifiable CO₂ reductions that can be issued as carbon credits.

CORSIA eligibility

CORSIA-eligible: The project’s credits are positioned as CORSIA-eligible, enabling use for aviation decarbonisation alongside voluntary climate commitments.

Planned SDG Impact

The project supports SDG outcomes commonly associated with renewable energy deployment in island contexts, including:

SDG 13 — Climate Action

Avoids emissions through direct displacement of fossil-fuel electricity.

SDG 7 — Affordable and Clean Energy

Increases access to clean, reliable electricity by replacing diesel-based generation with solar power.

SDG 8 — Decent Work and Economic Growth

Supports employment through installation, operations, and ongoing maintenance.

SDG 11 — Sustainable Cities and Communities

Improves energy resilience and reduces dependency on imported fossil fuels.

SDG 16 — Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions

Structured stakeholder engagement and grievance mechanisms strengthen transparency and accountability.
