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.
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.

The flagship initiative, developed by APM SPV Pvt Ltd, will feature a 100 MW floating solar PV system.
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. Future plans include adding electric boats and other clean energy solutions, highlighting the Maldives' commitment to sustainability.
