The history of electricity in Mauritius since the 1880s involves the continuous self-reinvention to meet the growing demand for affordable and environmentally sustainable energy. The C.E.B. (Central Electricity Board), established in 1952, has played a significant role in this history. This history also includes dealing with unexpected challenges from Mother Nature.
Traditional biomass, such as the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter, is not a source of electricity in Mauritius. However, it can be an important source in lower-income settings. Mauritius gets its electricity from nuclear power and renewable sources, which are low-carbon options.
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’. This document outlines the Government’s long-term vision for the energy sector.
