Reliable electricity for 24 hours will be provided to all inhabited islands during 2015, President Abdulla Yameen pledged at a ceremony held last night to inaugurate the distribution of 77 generators by government utility company Fenaka to the atolls.
In addition to the 77 generators, President Yameen said the Fenaka Corporation has procured 60 generators.
“God willing, all these engines will be commissioned next year and all the equipment needed for the engines and the distribution network has now been brought,” Yameen said.
When distribution of the power generators is complete around mid-2015, President Yameen said electricity for 24 hours would be assured for the entire country “for the first time in Maldivian history”.
