Item Maldives SREP investment plan 2013–2017(Ministry of Environment and Energy, Republic of Maldives, 2013) Ministry of Environment and Energy, Republic of Maldives; މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް އެންވަޔަރަންމަންޓް އެންޑް އެނަރޖީ، ރިޕަބްލިކް އޮފް މޯލްޑިވްސްThe Maldives is one of the six pilot countries participating in the Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program in Low Income Countries (SREP). As a requirement of the SREP, an Investment Plan (IP) was prepared demonstrating how SREP resources together with leveraging by co-financiers will be used to support scaling up renewable energy (RE) development in the Maldives. The IP was developed by the Government of Maldives (GoM) under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment and Energy. It identifies opportunities and presents a plan for achieving the objectives of SREP. The IP has been prepared in line with the Maldives Vision 2020, Strategic Action Plan (SAP, 2008-2013), National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS, 2009), Maldives Energy Policy 2010, 3rd Environment Action Plan (3rd NEAP, 2008), as well as different Climate Change Policies, especially with the objective of becoming a carbon-neutral country based on a zero-carbon electricity sector. Thus, this IP is an integral part of the Maldivian Government’s RE and climate change policies, programmes, and initiatives.Item A brighter future for Maldives powered by renewables : road map for the energy sector 2020–2030(Asian Development Bank, 2020-11) Asian Development Bank; އޭޝިއަން ޑެވެލޮޕްމަންޓް ބޭންކްThe Republic of Maldives comprises 1,192 small islands in the central Indian Ocean, with a population estimated at 533,941 people in 2019. Maldives has been a development success in the recent decades, mostly attributed to the revenues from a flourishing tourism industry that comprises around 25% of the national gross domestic product (GDP). The magnitude of the economic impacts caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of the economic model implemented in Maldives over the recent decades. It will take months or even years to reach the tourism goals of the country. The country’s recovery will largely depend on the rapid transformation and diversification of its economic activities. Reliable and affordable energy supply are needed to address the transformation challenge. Maldives does not have reserves of fossil fuels, but it has abundant renewable energy resources, including solar, wind, and ocean. Investments in renewable energy are an opportunity to lower the costs of electricity production and reduce fuel imports and the burden on government finances. This Road Map establishes the guidelines to transit from a fossil-fuel- based energy sector to a cost-effective, business competitive, affordable, and sustainable renewable energy.Item Energy efficiency photography competition 2015(Strengthening Low Carbon Energy Island Strategies Project (SLCEIS), 2016-01-28) Strengthening Low Carbon Energy Island Strategies Project (SLCEIS); Ministry of Environment and Energy; ސްޓްރެންތެނިންގ ލޯ ކާރބަން އެނާރޖީ އައިލަންޑް ސްޓްރެޓެޖީސް ޕްރޮޖެކްޓް; މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް އެންވަޔަރަންމަންޓް އެންޑް އެނާރޖީ
