Fenaka Corporation has announced an ambitious infrastructural mandate to develop 30 powerhouses across the country within the current calendar year, a strategic initiative designed to modernise the national grid and resuscitate stagnant projects. Managing Director Mohamed Najah detailed a comprehensive agenda to expand spatial capacity and bolster electricity, water, and sewerage networks, following pre-Ramadan enhancements that included cable upgrades across 27 islands and engine overhauls in 37 locations.
A primary objective remains the mitigation of public health challenges by relocating powerhouses from densely populated zones to uninhabited areas. "A considerable multitude of projects had previously come to a standstill," Najah noted, adding that the proximity of industrial utilities to civilian life "engenders significant challenges" near residential and tourism zones. Operations in Kendhoo in Baa Atoll, Maaungoodhoo in Shaviyani Atoll, and Fiyoaree in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll have already transitioned to new facilities, while Rasgetheemu in Raa Atoll stands ready for immediate deployment.
The corporation aims to recover abandoned assets where 60 to 70 percent of construction had been finalised before work ceased. Beyond the electrical grid, Fenaka continues to formalise its expanded mandate, recently completing reverse osmosis plant installations in Nolhivaram in Haa Dhaalu Atoll and Ihavandhoo in Haa Alifu Atoll. "It remains a definitive objective of the government to commence the development of these 30 powerhouses this year," Najah declared, "ensuring their completion with the utmost expediency."
