Mauritius Long-Term Energy Strategy 2009-2025

In their final report, the Consultants made a number of recommendations to address all aspects of energy demand, supply and utilization for the power and transportation sectors with emphasis on energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy. The recommendations also pertain to energy imports, energy security, diversification of the energy mix, energy efficiency and energy conservation, environment and education. The final report was adopted by Government in December 2008, with the exception of certain recommendations which have wide-ranging implications, and require further consultations and studies.
