Resource information
This report is prepared within phase one
of the project renewable energy resource mapping for the
Republic of the Maldives. This part of the project focuses
on solar resource mapping and measurement services as part
of a technical assistance in the renewable energy
development implemented by the World Bank in Maldives. It is
being undertaken in close coordination with the ministry of
environment and energy (MEE) of Maldives, the World Bank’s
primary country counterpart for this project. Important part
of the project is to deliver high quality solar resource
measured data that are to be used for validation of solar
resource and meteorological models. This report identifies a
long and short lists of potential solar measuring sites in
Maldives and presents set of instruments to be deployed and
operated at the agreed meteorological sites. This report
also ranks the sites, according to the findings, to
contribute to the information-based decision-making on the
final site selection.
