Companies that build energy storage power stations in the Maldives

Can the Maldives benefit from solar energy?

The nation’s reliance on imported fossil fuels has long been a significant economic burden. By harnessing solar energy, the Maldives can reduce these imports and invest more in local infrastructure. The launch of the floating solar island is just the beginning, as Abraxas Power has ambitious plans to expand the project in the years ahead.

What is the main energy supply in Maldives?

These are calculated based on 2011 data for all the countries except for obtaining the SIDS average where 2009 figures are used. The main primary energy supply in Maldives is still dependent on imported fossil fuel (99.9%). Bulk of this imported fuel is diesel and the main energy used for production of electricity and transport.

What does the floating solar Island initiative mean for the Maldives?

The floating solar island initiative marks a major step in the Maldives’ transition to a zero-carbon future. As the first phase of a larger project, the island is equipped with solar arrays, battery energy storage systems, and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.

What are the future plans for the Maldives?

Future plans include adding electric boats and other clean energy solutions, highlighting the Maldives’ commitment to sustainability. At the heart of the solar island’s operation is the Abraxas Operating System (AbOS), which seamlessly integrates energy sources, storage, and consumption.
