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.
Already in 2030, PV becomes the major electricity generation source for the Maldives. In case of no local transport e-fuels production, a total of 1.42 TWh and 3.23 TWh of electricity is supplied by PV in 2030 and 2050, in which, floating PV contributes with 1.08 TWh and 2.88 TWh.
The primary energy supply of the Maldives in 2017, which is the latest year with comprehensive energy system data, , and which is used as the reference system in this study, was dominated by fossil fuels, as it is shown in Fig. 1. The majority, or 39% of the diesel consumption is due to the diesel-based electricity production.
The Maldives are an example of island countries having one of the most ambitious emissions targets of all island nations, as they aim to reach a net-zero energy system already by 2030 .
This report establishes the Maldives at the forefront of efforts by developing countries to use energy storage to integrate variable renewable energy to the grid and reduce emissions.
