The Maldives is making significant strides toward its renewable energy goals, with a landmark achievement by V. Rakeedhoo marking a crucial step forward. The island has successfully transitioned to generating 90% of its energy from solar power, showcasing the tangible progress being made in the nation’s green energy journey.
This milestone aligns with President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s pledge to shift 33% of the Maldives’ energy production to renewable sources. To further this vision, the Environment Ministry has launched the Magey Solar program, an initiative aimed at empowering households to adopt solar energy. Under the program, 750 solar PV systems will be distributed to households at affordable rates, making renewable energy more accessible and accelerating the nation’s transition to sustainability.
The achievement in V. Rakeedhoo serves as an inspiring example of what can be accomplished as the Maldives collectively works toward a greener future.
