Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives announces the operationalization of the largest operational floating solar park in the Maldives. Executed in partnership with Swimsol, the global leader in offshore marine photovoltaics. The new solar park at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is 1,080kWp, making it the largest operating solar sea system in the Maldives.
This is a very proud moment for Swimsol. It has been our goal since the establishment of our company to enable island resorts in Maldives to switch off gensets completely throughout the day and save a significant share of their diesel consumption, and Taj Exotica is among the first resorts in the Maldives to do so. The cooperation with the resorts team has been excellent; we thank each and every one of them for the great support and trust, says Martin Putschek- Managing Director of Swimsol.
The SolarSea system, in conjunction with a battery, will also enable it to operate completely on renewable energy throughout the day. The largest operating Solar Sea System in Maldives saves around 475,000 litres of diesel annually. In addition to this, the Solar Sea System also reduces the resort’s carbon footprint by 1,200 tons each year.
Elevating its stance on sustainable luxury, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is now operating with one of the lowest carbon footprints in the Maldives. This initiative, in line with IHCL’s ESG+ framework- Paathya, is a reflection of our commitment towards energy conservation, minimisation of ecological impact and preserving the natural beauty of the Maldives, says Ms. Corinna Luebbe- Cluster General Manager, Taj Maldives.
Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is an environmentally responsible resort. This latest effort adds to the sustainable initiatives at the property. Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is one of the only two properties in the Maldives to receive an EarthChech platinum certification.
