President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has officially inaugurated the new powerhouse developed in Raiymandhoo island of Meemu atoll.

The president officially inaugurated the newly developed powerhouse as part of his ongoing campaign tour of Meemu and Vaavu atolls, which he began on Saturday.

The new powerhouse inaugurated on Sunday will provide a reliable and efficient power supply to the island’s residents.

Located away from the island’s residential area, the new powerhouse has sufficient space for additional services and has resolved the issues that were caused by the old powerhouse in the residential area.

The powerhouse features three generator sets with a combined capacity of 480 Kilowatts.

The Maldivian leader departed on Saturday, on the three-day campaign tour, as part of his campaign for re-election in the upcoming Presidential election.

The president’s campaign tour of Meemu and Vaavu atolls, will conclude on July 17.
