  • State Electric Company Ltd (STELCO) is the state-owned utility company of the Maldives, responsible for generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity across the country.
  • They operate in 35 islands, each with its own power network powered by diesel generator sets.
  • As part of our commitment to enhancing the energy infrastructure of the Maldives, they invite expressions of interest (EOI) from qualified parties for the following projects:

Scope of Work

  1. Installation of Solar PV Systems
    This includes various types of installations such as ground-mounted systems with structures, roof-mounted systems, shallow lagoon installations with structures, and offshore installations with floating structures. Interested parties may propose to either sell the generated power to STELCO under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or finance and install the systems through a contractor finance model.
  2. Battery Energy Storage Systems and Energy Management Systems
    To support the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, we seek parties capable of supplying and installing advances battery energy storage systems (BESS) and energy management systems (EMS) that will stabilize our power networks and optimize energy use.
  3. Construction of Powerhouses and Networks
    EOIs are invited for the construction and upgrade of powerhouses and associated power networks on the islands to enhance efficiency and capacity.
  4. Extension of 132kV Grid Infrastructure Including Cabling and Construction of Substations
    This project involves the extension of the 132kV grid infrastructure, including the laying of cables and the construction of substations to meet the growing energy needs of STELCO Network.

Deadline for submissions is 30 December 2024.

Green Building Africa promotes the need for net carbon zero buildings and cities in Africa. We are fiercely independent and encourage outlying thinkers to contribute to the #netcarbonzero movement. Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
