As dusk falls, the sea breeze of the Indian Ocean brushes gently, and the lights gradually light up on Hulhumale Phase II Island in the Maldives. The bright street lights outline the crisscrossing veins of the streets and alleys, the neon lights of shops flicker in the sea breeze, the sound of children reading from residential building windows interweaves with the laughter of customers in coffee shops, and this emerging island city is thriving. A few years ago, this place was a different scene. As an important carrier area for population evacuation in the capital of Maldives, Hulhumale Phase II Island has long lacked a systematic power transmission and distribution network, and insufficient power supply has become a bottleneck for local economic and social development. In 2021, the power distribution system project undertaken by China Machinery Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Design Group") was officially launched. The project team overcame challenges such as high temperature, high humidity, and high salt spray, and completed the first batch of power transmission in 3 months. Shortly thereafter, the 132 kV main substation was successfully put into operation, with over a hundred box type substations distributed throughout the island and hundreds of kilometers of power lines connecting thousands of households. In June 2024, the "power artery" will connect the entire island, providing more stable and convenient power services for tens of thousands of residents and businesses. Stable electricity is the foundation of everything. ”Local resident Hussein said, 'I believe the future here will get better and better.' Nowadays, more and more families are moving into Hulhumale Phase II Island. The Maldivian government also has high expectations for local green development. Taurik Ibrahim, former Minister of Climate Change, Environment and Energy of Maldives, stated that in order to achieve the goal of "33% of electricity being provided by renewable energy by 2028", Maldives must promote the modernization of the power grid and integration of renewable energy, and upgrade its infrastructure. In the first phase of Hulumale Island, the neatly arranged photovoltaic panels on the roof have become a unique scenery. In 2017, the team of China State Construction Engineering Corporation installed 6800 photovoltaic panels on the rooftops of 34 residential buildings in the first phase of the Hulhumale Island housing project, with a total installed capacity of 1.5 megawatts. This project introduces the concept of "green energy community" to Maldives, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 1800 tons per year and become a demonstration window for promoting clean energy locally. Nowadays, the construction of the capital economic circle is accelerating, and the capacity expansion project of Hulhumale Island Phase I power station is gradually underway. After completion, the project will merge with the existing power grid to achieve coordinated development. Behind the lights, there are families living and working in peace, and shops that have doubled in vitality due to stable power supply. The person in charge of Maldives Housing Development Co., Ltd., the owner of the project, said, "From rooftop photovoltaics to the entire island power grid, from solving people's electricity needs to supporting economic development, these 'small and beautiful' practical cooperation projects participated in by Chinese enterprises are lighting up the future of Maldives
