In April 2007, the Government of Mauritius adopted the “Outline of the Energy Policy 2007-2025-Towards a Coherent Energy Policy for the Development of the Energy Sector in Mauritius” which outlines in broad terms Government’s long-term vision for the energy sector. Based on this Outline, an energy study jointly funded by the EC and UNDP/UNEP was carried out from August to December 2007. The aim of the study was to support the development of a 25-year comprehensive energy policy, including a Master Plan for Renewable Energy sources.
