Maldives Energy Situation
Maldives is highly dependent on imported oil. The state owned electric company supplies electricity to the country''s capital Male'' while rest of the island inhabitants resort to privately managed small diesel
While diesel generators are the primary source of electricity, the Maldives is also exploring renewable energy options. Given the abundance of sunlight the islands receive, solar power is a promising alternative.
The provision of electricity in the Maldives is largely handled by the State Electric Company Limited (STELCO), the main state-owned utility company. STELCO operates power plants across the country and is responsible for the generation, distribution, and supply of electricity.
The Maldives is a net energy importer of petroleum products. There is no major energy production in the country except for electricity production from diesel fired power stations. Energy demand and supply analysis are given in Table 5 and 6.
On the Maldives, power plug sockets are of types D and G. The standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz.
