Dhiraagu Powers 2025 Road Race Entirely With Renewable Energy

Dhiraagu has revealed that the Dhiraagu Maldives Road Race (DMRR) 2025 was powered entirely with renewable energy, marking a significant step towards sustainability. 

Through a grid-tied  solar system that offset 100% of the event’s electricity consumption, the company demonstrates  its ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community responsibility.

During the event, the onsite solar installation generated 1040 kWh of renewable electricity, enough to offset 645 kilograms of CO₂ emissions. 

By powering the event with solar energy, Dhiraagu has reduced its environmental footprint by demonstrating what is possible when technology and sustainability come together. The initiative aligns with global efforts to transition to renewable power and showcases how large-scale events can be both exciting and environmentally responsible. 

The solar panels installed at DMRR 2025 will be reused in Dhiraagu’s ongoing solar projects, ensuring that these materials continue to support the company’s renewable initiatives. With solar installations currently across 95 islands, the company reduces ~ 2,053 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year, with 19% of its total energy consumption generated from renewable sources. 

Additionally, since 2019, the Dhiraagu Maldives Road Race has championed single-use plastic free practices, advocating for and encouraging participants to reduce single-use plastics. Water stations are placed throughout the race route for runners, and these initiatives have helped avoid the use of ~18,000 single-use plastic bottles during the event that might otherwise have ended up in the ocean.
