Mauritius aims to increase the share of renewable energy sources in its energy mix, which leads to fluctuating power injection. To reduce this fluctuation from variable renewable energy sources, the installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is required.
Mauritius generates energy through various means including wind farms, solar energy, biomass, wave, and waste-to-energy projects. Currently, bagasse (sugarcane waste) is the leading source, contributing 13.3 percent to the renewable energy generation. Mauritius derives other renewable electricity from hydro, wind, landfill gas, and solar.
Mauritius has an attractive potential for solar energy, with an average annual solar radiation value of some 6 kWh/m2/day. Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is an option due to the almost year-round intensive sunlight. To achieve the target of 60 percent renewable energy by 2030, Mauritius has commissioned six more solar farms.
The CEB is committed to further expanding its BESS capacity to meet growing energy demands and support the integration of renewable energy. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to create a sustainable, reliable, and resilient energy future for Mauritius.
