“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,” he said.

President Muizzu said that the Maldives’ private sector has demonstrated its commitment through investments in renewable energy, and encouraged them to continue with this dedication.

“These efforts not only contribute to global climate goals but also bolster our energy security and economic resilience,” he said.

President Muizzu also extended his gratitude to Maldives’ financing partners across the globe, for their support in transforming Maldives’ clean energy aspirations into reality.

He said that Small Island Developing States such as the Maldives need this support to be increased in the coming years.

Before concluding his message, President Muizzu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting Maldivian islands, fostering a healthier environment, and establishing the Maldives as an example for other nations to follow and strive towards clean energy for the greater benefit of the nation and planet.
