How will Mauritius transition to a low carbon economy?
Mauritius is transitioning to a low carbon economy, with the Central Electricity Board (CEB) installing the first grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This is the first of its kind in Mauritius and enables high capacity storage of renewable energy in the grid.
Why is battery energy storage system being introduced in Mauritius?
The CEB is introducing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on its network to arrest the fluctuation inherent to Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) systems. This is due to the increasing share of VRE in Mauritius' energy mix, as the country's energy transition to a low carbon economy gains momentum.
What is Mauritius aiming to reduce dependence on?
The Government of Mauritius’ Long Term Energy Strategy - aims to increase the share of renewable energy in our energy mix to 35% by, reducing the country’s dependence on coal and heavy oil for electricity generation.

What is the purpose of the BESS upgrade?
This high-tech, latest technology and ultra-fast response battery energy storage system (BESS) is the first of a series of upgrades to the electricity grid in order to achieve a smarter, more modern and cleaner electricity network in Mauritius.
What is BESS and how does it work?
BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) is a high-tech, ultra-fast response battery system designed to upgrade the electricity grid. It aims to make the electricity network in Mauritius smarter, more modern, and cleaner.
