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 (VRE) in the energy mix.
This increased the total BESS capacity to 18 MW. A further 20 MW BESS was commissioned at Amaury Substation, raising the total capacity in Mauritius to 38 MW. A 1.5 MW BESS was installed at Pointe Monnier Power Station, strengthening the network and supporting renewable energy integration.
The CEB is committed to further expanding its BESS capacity to meet growing energy demands and support the integration of renewable energy. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to create a sustainable, reliable, and resilient energy future for Mauritius.
An additional 14 MW of Grid-Scale BESS was commissioned across four substations: La Tour Koenig (2 MW), Anahita (4 MW), Wooton (4 MW), and Jin Fei (4 MW) This increased the total BESS capacity to 18 MW. A further 20 MW BESS was commissioned at Amaury Substation, raising the total capacity in Mauritius to 38 MW.
The four Stor''Sun solar plants located in Trou d''Eau Douce (SS1 and SS2), Balaclava (SS3) and Petite-Rivière (SS4) will integrate large scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to
