Description: This report is based on some first simulation of the power systems of Mahé based on the hourly demand data for 2014, wind data from Mahé airport and internationally available solar data (NASA 2016) used for a coordinate close to Mahé (4.5°S / 55.625°E). As the subject is of great interest to key players from the civil society and from government, and as the issue is of great importance for the Seychelles’ energy future and its economy, the author has attempted to give a written account of the main arguments in a form that should be understandable to a lay person interested in the subject. A corresponding scientific publication in a peer-reviewed journal will be published based on more complete data at a later point in time.
