Maldives has 2 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 5 tracked facilities, ranking #193 of 222 countries in this atlas.

Solar dominates: 100% of the operating capacity (2 MW) comes from solar parks, against 0 MW of wind.

The pipeline is substantial: 0 MW under construction and 125 MW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 6,250% of today’s operating fleet.

About 2 MW (100%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2024, with 2 MW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in Hadhdhunmathi (2 MW).
