The company's underlying infrastructure is built around island-dispatched powerhouses (diesel gensets with grid-tied rooftop solar of 18-30 kW per installation), reverse osmosis water desalination plants, and sewerage systems. Solar capacity deployment totals approximately 14 MW operational across islands, with an additional 5.2 MWp In-house Solar Program underway in 2024 (MVR 92 million budget) targeting annual diesel savings of 2.6 million liters and MVR 19.9 million. Additional products and services include the MageySolar branded solar sub-brand, electrical installation testing, vendor registration, the Fenaka Institute training program, and the 'Tayyaaru' emergency preparedness initiative coordinated with the Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF).

Fenaka's revenue mechanics are tariff-based and subscription-recurring across its electricity, water, and sewerage service lines, though specific rate information is not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are organized geographically and span residential customers, island businesses, and government offices across the inhabited islands. Distribution is direct to end consumers via island branches, phone-based customer service, and self-serve web forms. Partnerships include the Asian Development Bank under the 'Poised Project' for renewable energy financing and the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Technology for renewable strategy implementation. Governance is provided by a Managing Director, six CXOs, a Chairman, and four Directors, with the company employing between 1,001 and 5,000 staff to operate the nationwide footprint.
