In Maldives, the main energy source is imported fossil fuel (99.9%), with the bulk being diesel. This fuel is used primarily for electricity production and transportation.
In Maldives, almost all electricity is generated from diesel based systems. Each separate island operates a self-sustaining diesel power generation and distribution system. Electricity is produced in Maldives through these decentralized systems in the Greater Male’ Region.
Challenges facing such projects include integrating solar with existing power sources on the grid, off-taker risk, weak procurement, and planning capacity. The objective of the ASPIRE project is to increase photo voltaic (PV) generation in Maldives through private-sector investment. Approved in 2020, the ARISE Project scaled up this process.
World Bank-financed projects ASPIRE and ARISE support the Maldives' energy transition by installing more than 53.5 megawatts of solar capacity and 50-megawatt hours of battery storage. This will reduce Maldives' annual import bill by about $30 million, with a project lifetime saving of $756 million over 25 years.
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.
In general, the projects will benefit the people of Maldives and the government by lowering electricity prices and providing quasi-budgetary support. 2014 –The first 1.5 megawatt (MW) solar project under ASPIRE had four investors' bids, resulting in a high PPA of 21 US cents per unit of electricity.
