COMO Cocoa Island: Embracing Renewable Energy
COMO Cocoa Island in the Maldives has unveiled two innovative villas powered by renewable energy. Equipped with solar panels and water turbines, the new Sunset and Sunrise Villas generate a significant portion of the property’s electricity, marking a major step toward a more sustainable future in hospitality.
New Villas Feature Bespoke Renewable Energy Design
The new villas at COMO Cocoa Island showcase cutting-edge sustainable architecture, a leading example of eco-friendly design in the Maldives. The 4,316-square-foot Sunset Villa and 3,767-square-foot Sunrise Villa blend luxury with an environmentally conscious design, each equipped with 35 solar panels and a water turbine to capture energy from both the sun and ocean waves.
Together, these systems generate approximately 100,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually, meeting an impressive 75% of the resort’s electricity needs. Any surplus is stored efficiently and contributes to the island’s grid, ensuring a stable power supply even in less sunny or calm conditions.
The villas maximize sustainability by using self-generated energy to power air conditioning, lighting, and other appliances. Each one also includes an electric buggy charging station, allowing guests to explore the island in zero-emission vehicles.
