Main article: {{wpl|Agrivoltaics}} | |||
Since [[2014]] Sudmoll has seen rise in the interest in {{wpl|agrivoltaics}}. There is a 1MW solar installation with agriculture activities on 2 hectares (5 acres) of land owned by a local cooperative that was funded by a grant from the Royal Academy of Sciences. The farm grows melons, chilies, and cucumbers which are sold at the local market. In [[2019]], an agrivoltaic system was built on a shrimp farm, funded by a local block grant. According to data collected by the Ministry of Energy's Department of Sustainability's Office of Energy Resiliency's Local Initiatives Branch, the results of their pilot project indicate that water consumption has been reduced by 75% and other benefits such as shading for workers as well as a lower and stable water temperature for better shrimp growth. | |||
In [[2024]], a subsidy program was established for participants who can provide 1 hectare of undeveloped, arable, and viable land and a business plan to farm/ranch on the land with shade-tolerant crops can receive up to $150,000 towards the installation of a solar array. | |||

The island's unspoiled nature in the form of its lush forests and numerous wildlife, its [[Daxia]]n and [[Loa]] ruins and various extravagant villas constructed on the island by rich [[Burgoigniacs]] have drawn visitors to the island since the 19th century, with various writers, poets and painters bringing the island to the public eye over the years. | The island's unspoiled nature in the form of its lush forests and numerous wildlife, its [[Daxia]]n and [[Loa]] ruins and various extravagant villas constructed on the island by rich [[Burgoigniacs]] have drawn visitors to the island since the 19th century, with various writers, poets and painters bringing the island to the public eye over the years. | ||

{{wpl|Aquaculture}} is a new aspect for the economy of Sudmoll. The commercialization of the pearl and nacre industry was first attempted in the 1990s and met with stiff resistance by the cottage industry that existed around it. The final push was in [[2014]] when conservation groups succeeded in getting the local legislature to put a 10-year moratorium on "wild" {{wpl|fishing}}, {{wpl|pearl-diving}}, and other forms of {{wpl|Gathering seafood by hand|gathering seafood by hand}}. | {{wpl|Aquaculture}} is a new aspect for the economy of Sudmoll.

Sudmoll imports its petroleum and has no local refinery or production. Civilian daily consumption of imported oil products was 5,430 barrels in [[2025]], which constitutes 70% of energy generation for the island's inhabitants. A {{wpl|waste-to-energy plant}} was constructed in [[2003]] and provides the remaining 30% of power generation. It also consumes about 83% of the waste generated on the island. The {{wpl|syngas}} byproduct is increasingly becoming one of Sudmoll's most valuable exports. | Sudmoll imports its petroleum and has no local refinery or production.

There has been a mild interest, in residential and commercial solar energy but there isn't a financial capability by the vast majority of residents and businesses to make the initial investments even with current government subsidies. It is estimated that the total solar energy generation capacity on the island is about 4KWs and there is no expectation of that drastically increasing in the next 3-5 yrs. | ||
Through an infrastructure investment grant, the [[Levantine Union]] has committed ₮8 million to construct tidal power generators, but the project is currently stalled by local fishermen who are concerned about the disturbances the generators will cause to their livelihood. The project is still expected to move forward and the projected completion date is [[2029]]. A feasibility study was conducted and determined that solar would be unreliable due to the long monsoon seasons, and nuclear was too expensive for the demand. | Through an infrastructure investment grant, the [[Levantine Union]] has committed ₮8 million to construct tidal power generators, but the project is currently stalled by local fishermen who are concerned about the disturbances the generators will cause to their livelihood.
