State Trading Organization (STO) announces completion of installing solar power system in the company’s staple foods warehouse.
The project was carried out in accordance with STO’s green-initiative. STO further confirms this was a pilot project to observe renewable energy production.
Harnessed power from the panels can be transferred to State Electric Company’s (STELC) power grid, while subsequently powering up a majority STO’s medical warehouse units. The project commenced earlier on 17th July, and concluded on 15th September 2022.

STO further affirms prospective green-initiative projects, including installation of renewable energy systems in its buildings. The largest state-owned enterprise (SOE) also reports it will remain committed towards collective efforts of carbon emission reduction in the Maldives.
