Maldives has no proven fossil fuel reserves, but it has abundant renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and ocean (tidal, wave, and ocean thermal). The country has the potential to produce green hydrogen fuel using renewable energy. The future of energy in Maldives is powered by renewables.
Solar PV with storage has proven suitable and competitive for Maldives' high penetration of renewable energy (POISED type B projects), with an average fuel savings of 25%. The concept design of hybrid systems (efficient diesel generators + solar PV plants + energy storage) has resulted in success for Maldives.
Solar Energy: The Maldives benefits from high solar irradiance levels, making solar energy the most viable renewable resource. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can generate approximately 1,200 kWh of electricity per square meter annually.
By 2030, 30% of Maldives’ energy consumption for water and sewerage facilities will be met with renewable energy. In electricity production, 38% will be renewable in the Greater Male’ Region, 48% in other inhabited islands, and 50% in resorts, industrial, and agricultural islands.
Despite the challenges, the Maldives is endowed with significant renewable energy resources, as per previously mentioned ADB report, that could reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels: Solar Energy: The Maldives benefits from high solar irradiance levels, making solar energy the most viable renewable resource.
In Maldives the most significant energy conversion is from diesel energy to electricity. Nearly 100% of all electricity produced in Maldives in from diesel based systems. The generation and distribution of the electrical systems are decentralized with each separate island operating a self-sustaining diesel power generation and distribution system
