08 Aug 2024

Maldives is seeking private investors for the development of a 15MWp, grid-tied ground mounted solar PV Systems based on a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model.

This sub-project is the 4th of its kind, within a pipeline of sub-projects developed and offered under a World Bank supported program, collectively Accelerating Sustainable Private Investments in Renewable Energy (ASPIRE) and the Accelerating Renewable Energy Investments and Sustainable Energy (ARISE) Project.

With the help of a guarantee facility and other incentives for private investors, these projects seek to lower the risk associated with solar PV investments throughout the Maldives. As of now, two sub-projects which totals to 7 MWp are in operation, along with an 11 MW solar PV subproject in construction stage.
