6 FAQs about [Mauritius high capacity solar battery]

Does Mauritius need a battery energy storage system?

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.

Does Mauritius use solar energy?

Mauritius has an attractive potential for solar energy, with an average annual solar radiation value of some 6 kWh/m2/day. Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is an option due to the almost year-round intensive sunlight. To achieve the target of 60 percent renewable energy by 2030, Mauritius has commissioned six more solar farms.

Can a solar panel power Mauritius?

Mauritius, an island with a surface area of 2040 km², would power 41% of the entire world population if all solar energy is harnessed at 100%. Unfortunately, at the current technology, no solar panel can harness 100% of the available solar energy.

Does Qair Group operate solar energy farms in Mauritius?

Qair Group already operates three solar PV and wind energy farms in Mauritius with a combined capacity of 35 MW. The group founded by Jean-Marc Bouchet has a combined renewable energy capacity of 860 MW operational in Africa, South-East Asia, South America, and Europe.

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.

What is Mauritius' long term energy strategy?

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.
