The Group accelerated its largest solar deployment to date — a multi-resort rollout reshaping how Maldivian islands generate the energy behind every guest experience and pushing renewable share toward the 60% mark by 2027.
The rollout adds 4.2 MW of solar capacity across three resorts — Olhuveli, Iru Fushi, and Vilu Reef — designed and installed in partnership with a Maldivian renewable energy contractor. The arrays are integrated with battery storage to handle the operational load profile of an island resort, where peak demand is concentrated around guest arrivals and evening service.
Diesel generation, historically the backbone of off-grid Maldivian resort operations, will drop to a backup-only role at the three pilot properties by Q3 2026. The next phase, scheduled for 2027, brings the remaining group properties online and adds tidal-flow research as a longer-horizon supplement to solar.
The harder, less photogenic work has been on the demand side: efficiency upgrades to chillers, kitchen equipment, and water-make plants that have reduced baseline draw by 18% since 2023. Generating clean energy is only half the equation. Needing less of it is the other half.
