President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu says as a low-lying island nation, acutely vulnerable to climate change, investing in renewable energy sources is a vital commitment for the future of the Maldives.
He said this in his message on the International Day of Clean Energy.
The President said that the Maldives has made great strides in advancing renewable energy, particularly through solar power initiatives, and that the country has set an ambitious target of generating 33 percent of the country’s electricity through renewable sources by 2028.
He said that the Energy Act and the roadmap for the energy sector outline the nation's plan to ensure that energy supply is sufficient, reliable, sustainable, secure, and affordable.
The President extended his gratitude to the country's financing partners across the globe, for their support in transforming the country's clean energy aspirations into reality. He added that small Island Developing States need this support to be increased in the coming years.
