Get PriceThere are currently three main bagasse/coal power plants at the sugar factories of Alteo Energy Ltd, Terragen Ltd and Omnicane Thermal Energy Operations (La Baraque and Saint Aubin) Ltd.
Get PriceThe small hydro systems can be further sub-divided into mini (100 - 1000 kW), micro (<100 kW) and pico (<5 kW) systems. Currently, there are 10 hydroelectric power stations, ranging in size from 0.35 MW to 28 MW, in operation in Mauritius, as per Figure 1.6. Hydroelectric power generation accounted for 3.0% of total electricity produced in 2019.
While the CEB (with the head office in Curepipe) produces about 40% of the total energy source in Mauritius, the rest is obtained from Independent Power Producers mainly via sugar estates. The general electricity per capita per year in Mauritius is about 750 kW/h.
Mauritius has 23 utility-scale power plants in operation, with a total capacity of 989.3 MW. This data is a derivitive set of data gathered by source mentioned below. Global Energy Observatory/Google/KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm/Enipedia/World Resources Institute/database.earth
Most of CEB’s thermal power stations are located in the vicinity of the Port Area in Port Louis on account of on-shore fuel handling facilities which are readily available for unloading of fuel. Mauritius has a good solar regime, with a potential average annual solar radiation value of some 6 kWh/m²/day.
Mauritius generates energy through various means including wind farms, solar energy, biomass, wave, and waste-to-energy projects. Currently, bagasse (sugarcane waste) is the leading source, contributing 13.3 percent to the renewable energy generation. Mauritius derives other renewable electricity from hydro, wind, landfill gas, and solar.
In Mauritius it is often used to power cooking stoves or gas water heaters and to fuel some types of vehicle.

The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with a 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%. Europe follows with a 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
