In view of the increasing share of the Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) in the energy mix of Mauritius, the CEB has planned for the introduction of Battery Energy Storage System on its network to arrest the fluctuation inherent to the VRE systems. The Mauritian energy transition to a low carbon economy is picking up speed.
This is in line with the Government of Mauritius’ Long Term Energy Strategy 2009-2025 to increase the share of renewable energy in our energy mix (electricity production, transportation sector and manufacturing) to 35% by, namely, reducing the country’s dependence on coal and heavy oil for electricity generation.
Mauritius depends on imported petroleum products to meet most of its energy requirements and its primary energy sources are biomass, hydro, solar, marine, and wind energy.

Find relevant information for Mauritius on energy access (access to electricity, access to clean cooking, renewable energy and energy efficiency) on the Tracking SDG7 homepage.
The energy strategies in Mauritius, which have been demand-driven without incentives to reduce demand, can no longer be sustainable. It is the duty and responsibility of the Government to work towards decreasing carbon dioxide emissions in light of environmental issues.
Electricity in Mauritius is generated primarily by the Central Electricity Board (CEB), which is the sole agency for transmission, distribution, and sale of electricity. Renewable electricity is derived from sources such as hydro, wind, landfill gas, fuelwood, and solar. Mauritius falls under the Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities.
