In a momentous event that marks a significant leap forward in the island's development, His Excellency President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih inaugurated the state-of-the-art powerhouse in Meemu Raiymandhoo on Sunday, 16th July 2023. The occasion was filled with a sense of excitement and optimism as the outdated powerhouse, which had served the community for the past 25 years, was replaced with a modern and highly efficient facility.

Spanning an impressive area of 4,230 square feet, the new powerhouse is equipped with an engine room, control room, storeroom, and workshop. Notably, the engine room boasts a substantial capacity of 480kW, ensuring it can meet the island's growing power demands effectively.

The relocation of the powerhouse to its new site brings a multitude of benefits to the local community.

Additionally, the reduction of smoke emissions adds to the facility's eco-friendly approach, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment for residents of Raiymandhoo.

The safety and well-being of both the powerhouse's staff and the surrounding community have been paramount considerations in its construction and operation. Stringent protocols and measures have been put in place to minimize work-related risks and hazards, ensuring the highest standard of safety and adherence to health guidelines.

In the presence of President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, the inauguration ceremony highlights Fenaka's unwavering commitment to providing essential infrastructure and services to the people of Raiymandhoo Island. The new powerhouse stands as a symbol of progress, signifying a brighter and more prosperous future for the island's residents and businesses alike.
