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.
In April 2007, the Government of Mauritius adopted the ‘Outline of the Energy Policy 2007-2025 - Towards a Coherent Energy Policy for the Development of the Energy Sector in Mauritius’. This document outlines the Government’s long-term vision for the energy sector.
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.
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.
The Mauritian government has made significant changes in the energy sector. In particular, it created the Mauritius Renewable Energy Agency (MARENA) in 2016 to promote the use of renewable energy in Mauritius.
The Mauritian energy transition to a low carbon economy is picking up speed. The CEB has installed the first grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the first in its kind in Mauritius, to enable high capacity storage of renewable energy in the grid.

The Government of Mauritius has inaugurated a 20 MW grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Amaury Sub-station, marking a significant stride towards its ambitious goal of achieving 60% renewable …
The BESS resources are aimed at enabling Mauritius to reach its energy policy goals, including a target of sourcing 60% of its electricity from renewables by 2030 and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 40% and ending the burning of coal for electricity by that year.
This long term energy strategy is our roadmap to address the energy and environmental challenges lying ahead. The heart of this plan rests on innovation through science driven development of...
It brings the total BESS capacity operated by the government-owned Central Electricity Board (CEB) to 38MW. That includes two 2MW systems built first in 2018, followed by 14MW of batteries split across four sites at substations, three of 4MW and another 2MW connected to the grid. The BESS resources are aimed at enabling Mauritius to reach its …
