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.
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.
In 2018, the first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities were commissioned at Amaury Substation (2 MW) and Henrietta Substation (2 MW). These projects, financed by the Green Climate Fund under the "Accelerating the Transformational Shift to a Low-Carbon Economy" initiative, brought the total BESS capacity to 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. A 1.5 MW BESS was installed at Pointe Monnier Power Station, strengthening the network and supporting renewable energy integration.
The Central Electricity Board (CEB) of Mauritius in East Africa issued a request for proposal (RfP) last week for the purchase of electricity from hybrid renewable energy facilities, defined in this instance as
