Gasfinolhu Island Resort has on Tuesday begun functioning on electricity generated from solar power.
This is the first time that a resort in the Maldives is functioning completely on clean energy.
The resort, located in Kaafu atoll, has solar panels spanning 6,000 square metres. These panels generate 1.6 megavolts of electricity per day.
Hussein ‘Champaa’ Afeef, a co-founder of the company that operates the resort said that the company always aims to ‘keep up with technological advancements’.
“We have been working on switching to clean energy for two years now” Afeef said “The most noteworthy moment from the entire experctience was, switching off the generators and activating the panels”.
