On Wednesday, August 30th, 2023, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih officially unveiled the state-of-the-art powerhouse in Gdh.Thinadhoo, marking a momentous occasion in the island's development. This event sparked a sense of excitement and optimism as the outdated powerhouse, which had faithfully served the community for the past two decades, was replaced with a modern and highly efficient facility.

Covering an impressive area of 14,400 square feet, the new powerhouse is equipped with an engine room, control room, storeroom, and workshop. The engine room is particularly noteworthy, boasting a substantial capacity of 7.6MW, ensuring that it can effectively meet the island's growing power demands.

The relocation of the powerhouse to its new site brings numerous benefits to the local community. One of the key advancements in this cutting-edge facility is the incorporation of noise reduction measures. By implementing double walls and sound attenuators, the new powerhouse aims to minimize noise pollution, resulting in quieter operation of the electric generators. Additionally, the reduction of smoke emissions aligns with the facility's eco-friendly approach, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment for the residents of Thinadhoo.

Throughout the construction and operation of the powerhouse, utmost attention has been given to the safety and well-being of both the staff and the surrounding community. Stringent protocols and measures have been implemented to minimize work-related risks and hazards, ensuring the highest standard of safety and adherence to health guidelines.

The presence of President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih at the inauguration ceremony underscores Fenaka's unwavering commitment to providing essential infrastructure and services to the people of Thinadhoo Island. As a symbol of progress, the new powerhouse signifies a brighter and more prosperous future for both the island's residents and businesses.

As the nation takes this significant stride towards sustainable development, the residents of Thinadhoo can anticipate a more advanced and empowered community, thriving in a modern and energy-efficient environment. With the successful inauguration of the new powerhouse, our vision for a stronger and more resilient nation moves one step closer to becoming a reality.
