Dhiraagu fully offset the energy consumption of the Dhiraagu Maldives Road Race (DMRR) 2025 through a grid-tied solar system.
During the event, the onsite solar installation generated 1,040 kWh of renewable electricity, effectively offsetting 645 kilograms of CO₂ emissions. Regarding the major sustainable milestone the company had achieved, Dhiraagu said that the initiative highlights the company’s commitment to combining innovation with environmental responsibility while showcasing how large-scale events can be powered sustainably.
According to Dhiraagu, the solar panels used for DMRR 2025 will be repurposed for the company’s ongoing solar projects across the country. Currently, Dhiraagu operates solar installations on 95 islands, reducing approximately 2,053 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, with 19 percent of its total energy consumption derived from renewable sources.
In addition to renewable energy initiatives, the company continues to promote sustainable event practices. Since 2019, DMRR has been free of single-use plastics, avoiding the use of around 18,000 plastic bottles each year through water refill stations placed along the race route.
