Project Brief:

Contemporary and future power grids are characterized by a high share of renewable energy sources. This leads to a massive fluctuating power injection, which needs to be balanced by battery energy storage. 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.

With the on-going drive to encourage the uptake of renewable Energy schemes especially Solar Photovoltaic in Mauritius, Rodrigues and Agalega, CEB expects a total of around 185MW of Intermittent Renewable Energy (IRE) from Large, Medium and Small Independent Power Producers to be integrated to its network by 2025. This is in line with the Government of Mauritius’ Long Term Energy Strategy 2009-2025 to increase the share of renewable energy in our energy mix (electricity production, transportation sector and manufacturing) to 35% by, namely, reducing the country’s dependence on coal and heavy oil for electricity generation.

 

ROCFILL successfully participated the bid issued by CEB from Mauritius with Bid No. CEB/IFB/2021/2988 on 29 Oct 2021.
