World Bank-financed projects ASPIRE and ARISE support the Maldives' energy transition by installing more than 53.5 megawatts of solar capacity and 50-megawatt hours of battery storage. This will reduce Maldives' annual import bill by about $30 million, with a project lifetime saving of $756 million over 25 years.
In general, the projects will benefit the people of Maldives and the government by lowering electricity prices and providing quasi-budgetary support. 2014 –The first 1.5 megawatt (MW) solar project under ASPIRE had four investors' bids, resulting in a high PPA of 21 US cents per unit of electricity.
Challenges facing such projects include integrating solar with existing power sources on the grid, off-taker risk, weak procurement, and planning capacity. The objective of the ASPIRE project is to increase photo voltaic (PV) generation in Maldives through private-sector investment. Approved in 2020, the ARISE Project scaled up this process.
2022 – ASPIRE has resulted in the mobilization of about $28.3 million for 17.5 MW PV installations. Maldives' dependence on tourism and fossil fuel imports makes its economy particularly vulnerable to external shocks. In 2020, when COVID-19 hit, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted by at least 34 percent.
