World Bank-financed projects ASPIRE and ARISE support 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.
The task team collaborates closely with the South Asia Gender and Energy (SAGE) and Women Practitioners' Network in the Energy Sector (WePOWER) team to ensure gender mainstreaming and female participation in energy projects. Over 170 women will work in technical roles across the utilities through the two projects.
