The project tapped the JFJCM to finance and pilot test an advanced battery energy storage system, including an energy management system, that can help address the additional challenges of renewable energy in small islands like the Maldives. The Maldives is adopting advanced low-carbon technologies to reduce emissions and diesel imports with the help of the Japan Fund for the. . This document provides code of environmental and social good Practices that needs to be followed by the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) contractor/supplier/operator when undertaking BESS installation and operation under Accelerating Renewable Energy Integration and Sustainable Energy (ARISE). . The Maldivian government has signed a landmark agreement to deploy 38 megawatt-hours (MWh) of battery energy storage systems (BESS) alongside energy management systems (EMS) across 18 residential islands, as part of its transition to renewable energy. These codes are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the U.
