INTRODUCTION 1. This document provides the Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) for the assessment for sub-projects to be included in the sector program for the proposed Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development Project (POISED or the Project). These sub-projects to be planned during the implementation of the Project. The Project components include (i) development of renewable energy ready mini grid systems for outer islands, and (ii) capacity enhancement of MEE, FENAKA and STELCO to implement renewable energy mini grid projects. Under renewable energy mini-grid system, hybrid energy systems comprise generation mix of solar-diesel will be installed in about 160 medium to small outer islands of the Maldives. 2. A suitable renewable energy system (sub-project) for each island is identified as part of the sector program as defined in the long-term roadmap and these sub-projects will be progressively reanalyzed, screened and assessed during Project implementation. The EARF outlines the procedures that will be followed for environmental assessment and review of proposed sub-projects in accordance with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009) as well as in compliance with Government of Maldives (GoM) environmental assessment requirements. The EARF is intended primarily for use and reference by: (i) the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MEE); and (ii) ADB; but also by (iii) State Electric Company (STELCO) and the Fenaka Corporation Limited (FENAKA); (iv) participating communities and Atol/City/Island Councils; and (v) other stakeholders, including equipment vendors and energy services suppliers. Prior to Project appraisal, the EARF will be translated into Dahevi and disseminated accordingly, with the English version posted on the ADB website B. PROJECT AND OUTPUT REVIEW 3. The proposed “Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development (POISED)” project is part of the Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP) to reduce diesel dependence in the Maldives, improve the electricity sector, and address key macroeconomic issues through tapping into indigenous and cheaper sources of electricity. 4. The Project would enhance renewable based sustainable energy sector in the Maldives to be measured by increase of renewable energy (RE) in the supply mix of the Maldives, reduction in CO2 emissions, and increase in cost coverage through tariffs. The outcome would be the reduction of diesel usage for electricity generation in outer islands of the Maldives to be measured by reduction of diesel consumption per unit of electricity in the outer islands by 2020. The outputs include (i) development of renewable energy ready mini grid systems for outer islands, (ii) capacity enhancement of EA and IAs to implement renewable energy mini grid projects. 5. A phased intervention strategy has been proposed for the introduction of the RE in Maldives. In the first phase demonstration hybrid RE projects are proposed be implemented on five outer islands of Maldives namely: B. Goidhoo, Lh. Kurendhoo, Th. Buruni, Ga. Villingili and Addu City; under ADB financing and in the subsequent phases these RE hybrid solutions shall be extended in about 160 outer islands of Maldives at commercial development under the sector program as defined in the Road Map long-term strategy. 6. A detailed assessments of the RE resources (solar and wind) in Maldives has been undertaken and optimal individual RE solutions are proposed for each Islands. The scope of 3 RE solutions envisaged under the Project in mostly include introduction of Solar-Diesel Hybrid System on about 160 outer islands of Maldives. Various components of the proposed RE solution on islands include: Component 1: Installation of solar PV system (ground mounted and roof top) Component 2: Diesel generation by replacement of inefficient DG sets and addition of new DG sets Component 3: Refurbishment of distribution mini-grid systems Component 4: Capacity building of PMU/FENAKA/STELCO staff on O&M of RE systems. 7. The Project will construct and operate hybrid energy systems that include solar power generation units (on ground and roof-top) with a total capacity of 20888 kWp and 40170 kW diesel generations on about 160 target islands. The combined capacity of proposed hybrid energy system is 61058 kW. Diesel generation would be added to the existing generation system by installing additional generators in existing power plants or by changing the inefficient equipment in each island whereas solar energy generation would be new addition. Solar generation would be manly by installing solar PV panels (ground mounted and roof-top of public buildings). The hybrid system would range from 20 kWp to 1 MWp solar PV system and 35 kW to 1600kW diesel generators. Besides this, Li-Ion based battery storage system will also be installed in each island as part of hybrid energy system. The solar power generation units will consist in a set of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, power inverters, switchgear, associated protection, control and monitoring equipment’s, and associated civil works. The electricity output will be directly fed into existing distribution networks of STELCO/ FENAKA / island councils for further distribution. Wherever required distribution grid will be upgraded by replacing grid assets such as underground cable, distribution boxes, switchgears etc. Table 1 presents the proposed capacity by components under the Project. Table 1: Proposed Interventions and Estimated Capacity under the Project Proposed Capacity (kW) Proposed System On 5 Priority Islands On 160 Islands Diesel 8164 40170 Solar 2500 20888 Total 10664 61058 8. Indicative list of sub-projects1 proposed for implementation on about 160 outer islands as part of the POISED Project is provided in Appendix 1. 9. The key agencies to be involved in the Project are the Ministry of Finance and Treasury (MoET) as Project’s Executing Agency (EA), and MEE, FENAKA and STELCO being the Implementing Agencies (IAs), project management consultant (PMC), EPC contractor(s), and other line agencies including the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and Waste Management Division within EPA.

Maldives has been conducting censuses since 1911 with the first modern census conducted in 1977. Censuses were conducted every five years since between 1985 and 2000. The 2005 census was delayed to 2006 due to tsunami of 2004, leaving a gap of 8 years between the last two censuses. The 2014 marks the 29th census conducted in the Maldives. Census provides a benchmark data for all demographic, economic and social statistics in the country to the smallest geographic level. Such information is vital for planning and evidence based decision-making. Census also provides a rich source of data for monitoring national and international development goals and initiatives.
