The Government of Mauritius has inaugurated a 20 MW grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Amaury Sub-station, marking a significant stride towards its ambitious goal of achieving 60% renewable energy in the electricity mix by 2030.
[pdf] The system is based on LiFePOâ‚„ lithium iron phosphate battery technology, offering high safety, a long lifespan (over 6,500 cycles), and a modular design, making it ideal for Mauritius's abundant sunlight and fragile power infrastructure.
[pdf] The annual output is about 1,600 to 1,800 kWh per kWp installed, depending on factors like location, solar irradiance, and system efficiency. 2 The average electricity cost for households in Mauritius is approximately $0.131 USD per kWh.
