Project Summary: The project involves the development of a 36-megawatt (MW) solar power project and 40 megawatt hours (MWh) of battery energy storage solutions across various selected islands in the Maldives.
Before this, the largest connectivity project in the Maldives was the 1.4 km Chinese-funded bridge connecting Male to the Maldives airport in Hulhule island, and to the Hulumalhe island. Discussions on the GMCP were initiated during the visit of External Affairs Minister S Jaisankar to Male in September 2019.
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.
The largest infrastructure project in Maldives will involve the construction of a 6.74 km long bridge and causeway link connecting Male to Villingli, Gulhaifalhu and Thilafushi. In a boost to ties, India and Maldives signed a contract on the mega Greater Male Connectivity Project (GMCP), the largest infrastructure project in the country.
