Muizzu Pledges to Relocate Sinamalé Highway Solar Panels

President-elect Dr Mohamed Muizzu announced the relocation of solar panels from Sinamalé Bridge highway to other islands, citing poor implementation. The panels could convert two islands entirely to renewable energy. An investigation is underway after a panel was ripped off by wind. The project, a collaboration between the Ministry of Environment and the World Bank under the ASPIRE initiative, is expected to generate 7.3 million units of electricity annually and save MVR 15-20 million in fuel costs. Muizzu also pledged to transfer municipal services in Hulhumalé to the Malé City Council within 100 days, initiate dredging at Fushidhihgaru lagoon within two months, and not confiscate allocated land or flats. Development of Hulhumalé will include better planning and additional parking structures.
