6 FAQs about [Mauritius wind power battery storage]

Why is battery energy storage system being introduced in Mauritius?

In view of the increasing share of the Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) in the energy mix of Mauritius, the CEB has planned for the introduction of Battery Energy Storage System on its network to arrest the fluctuation inherent to the VRE systems. The Mauritian energy transition to a low carbon economy is picking up speed.

Does Mauritius have solar energy?

Solar Technology: Much of Mauritius receives almost year-round, intensive sunlight that makes solar photovoltaic (PV) energy an attractive energy option. To achieve the target of 35 percent renewable energy by 2025, Mauritius plans to commission six more solar farms.

How will Mauritius transition to a low carbon economy?

The Mauritian energy transition to a low carbon economy is picking up speed. The CEB has installed the first grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the first in its kind in Mauritius, to enable high capacity storage of renewable energy in the grid.

Does Qair Group operate solar energy farms in Mauritius?
