The Environment Ministry announced a state-funded project to install solar photovoltaic systems in 155 mosques on uninhabited islands, executed by Fenaka Corporation at a cost of MVR 10 million, with bids due by 17 August. The ministry says the switch will save island councils approximately MVR 8 million annually and advance the government's 'Net-Zero 2030' target.
