A national initiative to revolutionize energy consumption in the Maldives. The Hakathari program empowers consumers with a 5-star rating system for electrical appliances, driving the market toward sustainable, high-efficiency technology while significantly reducing household energy costs and national carbon emissions.

The Maldives is taking a bold step toward a greener future. The Hakathari Program is a game-changing standards and labeling initiative designed to help Maldivians make smarter, more sustainable choices. By affixing clear, star-rated energy labels to appliances, we’re turning the tide on high electricity bills and environmental impact.

Streamlined Digital Efficiency

At the heart of the initiative is a custom-built digital ecosystem that bridges the gap between importers, regulators, and the everyday consumer. We transformed a complex regulatory process into a seamless digital experience.

  • Automated Application Processing: Importers can submit technical data and documentation through a streamlined portal, moving from submission to approval faster than ever.

  • Instant Star-Rating Engine: Our system instantly calculates energy efficiency ratings based on technical parameters like CSPF and annual consumption, ensuring 100% accuracy in labeling.

  • Live Public Master List: A real-time, searchable database provides the public with a comprehensive list of every approved appliance and its star rating, right at their fingertips.

  • Data-Driven Dashboards: Ministry officials can monitor market trends and the adoption of energy-efficient technology through integrated analytics.

Transforming the Market

From voluntary participation to national standard, we are reshaping how the Maldives consumes energy.

The program currently covers the "Big Three" of household energy consumption: Air Conditioners, Refrigerators, and Washing Machines. With plans to expand into government procurement and additional appliances like water heaters and fans, Hakathari is the backbone of the Maldivian energy revolution.
