Mauritius lithium battery energy storage

What is a battery energy storage system (Bess) in Mauritius?

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.

What does the CEB do for Mauritius?

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.

How many MW is a battery energy storage system?

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.
