The ARISE project includes a target of bringing in 36 MW of new solar PV installations with an estimated cumulative 50MWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and grid infrastructure upgrades. The works will draw on a mix of loan and grant financing mobilized through the project.
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 European Union is directly supporting energy storage subsidy and tender schemes in several Member States. Notable recent examples include a 5.4GWh programme in Poland, a 3GWh tender scheme in Bulgaria,

Background: Energy security for a small island nation such as the Maldives can only be achieved through diversification of the country''s energy resources to reduce our dependence on imported fuels. The burden of rising global oil prices is compounded by the fact that the Maldives relies heavily on imports to meet almost all of the country''s domestic demand.
This new subsidy aims to reduce the Netherlands'' dependence on other countries to procure these components. A consultation has been opened until 3 March 2024 and can be accessed here (in Dutch

The Maldives' energy policy has been formulated to serve the country’s vision for the energy sector. It is built upon the broader policy objectives: economic growth, end of poverty, creation of employment, reduction of regional disparities in living standards, and resilience to weather severity and effects of climate change.
In Maldives, the main energy source is imported fossil fuel (99.9%), with the bulk being diesel. This fuel is used primarily for electricity production and transportation.
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.
While ASPIRE project addresses the need to increase PV generation in Maldives through private sector investment, Maldives envisions an ambitious goal of “carbon neutrality by 2030” along with an immediate target for 2023 to increase the share of renewable energy by 20% compared to 2018 levels.
