The government on Tuesday said that solar panels affixed at two government offices, under the project to generate electricity using renewable energy, are now being tested.
Under the third phase of the project for clean energy promotion in capital Male, solar panels have been fixed onto the roofs of the hospital Hulhumale and atop the finance ministry building.
Under the first two phases of the project, solar panels had been affixed on 10 buildings in Male, and those panels along with a system that can generate 675 kilowatts of electricity are being used by the State Electric Company (STELCO) to generate electricity.
The system established in the first phase generated 395 kilowatts of energy and another 280 kilowatts were generated in the second phase. Under both the phases, solar panels were affixed atop many government buildings such as some schools and the President's Office.
The environment ministry said on Tuesday that 740 kilowatts of energy would be generated at the completion of the third phase and that this will save 300,000 litres of diesel within a year. In terms of houses in male, it would be equivalent to the electricity consumed in 185 households.
The project is funded through a grant of one billion Yen from the Japanese government. The agreement for this project was signed in 2010.
