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.
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.
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.
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 produces about 500,000 tons of solid waste per year and its only landfill site is nearly full. In 2016, CEB (Mauritian utility company) issued a Request for Proposals for a 24 MW waste-to-energy project. Accordingly,
The Smart Grid Roadmap for Mauritius was launched in December 2018 to help the CEB integrate new technologies in the power system, enhancing reliability, safety, and security.
