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.
Why should you invest in Mauritius?
• Mauritius, as an integral part of the African Continent has excellent bilateral ties with African Countries. • Moreover, the local expertise of Mauritius in the energy sector coupled with the offering of its International Financial Centre can be leveraged upon for structuring and management of energy projects in Africa.
What is the Smart Grid Roadmap for Mauritius?
The Smart Grid Roadmap for Mauritius was launched in December to help the CEB integrate new technologies in the power system, enhancing reliability, safety, and security.
In his budget speech, the finance minister announced the commissioning of a battery energy storage system of 14 MW, which was completed and inaugurated in December .

The system was installed by Siemens France.Of the total cost of the project ($10 million), $7.5 million was funded by the UNDP Green Climate Fund. The system was installed by Siemens France. The finance minister also announced plans to increase the capacity of the solar PV farm at Henrietta, situated in the central western part of
He indicated that in order to achieve the set target of 35% of RE by and 60% by , the CEB has embarked on a number of grid enhancement projects with emphasis on RE systems monitoring and control. They include: the BESS system; the CEB RE Scheme for the charging of electric vehicles; the
As Mauritius transitions to a low-carbon economy, the CEB is actively integrating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to manage fluctuations in renewable energy sources like solar and wind. BESS plays a critical role in stabilising the grid and increasing the share of Variable Renewable Energy
The new system at Amaury substation’s total cost was cited at MR700 million (US$15.5 million), installed and commissioned by the French subsidiary of Siemens. A government media statement noted that the containerised system will be capable of sub-20 millisecond response times to fluctuations in
