4 FAQs about Mauritius backup power storage policy

Does Mauritius need a battery energy storage system?

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.

How does Mauritius generate energy?

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.

Does Mauritius use solar energy?

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.

Does Mauritius have a waste-to-energy project?
