Description: Mauritius has made significant steps towards a greener economy with the new government agenda aiming to further drive this transition. Mauritius has been a beacon for other Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in terms of sustainable development. In the last decade, Mauritius has been investing in renewable energy, clean waste management technologies and in public transport infrastructure. The new government programme, ‘Achieving Meaningful Change’, has ambitious targets in the area of green economy (GE) - from generating 35 per cent of electricity from renewable energy to large increases in recycling rates (GoM, 2015).

Description: WorleyParsons undertook, on behalf of the CEB, a pre-feasibility study to assess the Potential of Using Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for Electricity Generation in Mauritius. The CEB commissioned this study with a view to reduce the dependency on conventional imported energy carriers, to promote the use of cleaner energy sources and to diversify the energy mix of the country.
The following sources of potential LNG demand were considered in the study:
- Conversion of the existing CEB thermal stations;
- A new 100MW Natural Gas Fired Power Plant;
- Transport sector conversion to use natural gas (NG);
- Additional sources from commercial and industrial sectors.

Description: The NEC first set itself to examine the Integrated Electricity Plan (IEP) 2013-2022 prepared by the Central Electricity Board (CEB). After an in-depth analysis thereof, the NEC considered that, notwithstanding the likely significant work undertaken by the CEB to prepare the IEP, this document could not fullyadhere to the MID Policy, Strategy and Action Plan which was only approved in June 2013, in particular the 35% renewable energy (RE) target in 2025.

Author: CEB
Description: As the IEP 2003–2012 is phasing out, CEB has prepared the second IEP (Master Plan or the Plan) for the period 2013–2022, with the aim of guiding Mauritius and Rodrigues towards an even more stable electricity future. Similar to the previous IEP, the cornerstones of this Master Plan also are: to optimise the use of the existing power system, to keep electricity prices as low as possible through least-cost capacity expansion, to encourage our customers to participate in Demand-Side Management (DSM), and to provide for continued Private Sector opportunities in the electricity sector. These renewed commitments of the CEB will be made, while giving due consideration to emerging challenges, such as protection of the environment and maintaining grid stability with the increasing share of renewable energy sources.

Description: With limited indigenous conventional energy resources, Mauritius imports over 80% of its energy supply from foreign countries, mostly from the Middle East. Developing independent renewable energy resources is thus of priority concern for the Mauritian government. A tropical island surrounded by the Indian Ocean, Mauritius has enormous potential to develop various renewable energies, such as solar energy, biomass energy, wind power, geothermal energy, hydropower, etc.
