The completion of these projects was marked as part of President Solih’s ongoing visit to the atoll.

The facility can accommodate up to 15 employees and is strategically located away from residential areas. Its power generation capacity is 800 kilowatts.

The office was designed to provide a comfortable and efficient working environment for FENAKA employees and better serve the local community’s needs.
