Mauritius aims to increase the share of renewable energy sources in its energy mix, which leads to fluctuating power injection. To reduce this fluctuation from variable renewable energy sources, the installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is required.
The electricity generation from PV installations in Republic of Mauritius was 128.5 GWh in 2019 compared to 49.4 GWh in 2018. Table 1.6 provides information about PV installations under the Small Scale Distributed Generation (SSDG) and Medium Scale Distributed Generation (MSDG) scheme up to the year 2019 for the Island of Mauritius.
Also 13.6 % of total electricity production in Mauritius was from bagasse, representing an increase of 0.6 % compared to 2018. Mauritius, being a tropical island, enjoys a sunny climate all year round. The Mauritius Meteorological Services has key stations located at Medine, Pamplemousses (Ferret), FUEL, Plaisance and Vacoas to collect data.
