How is electricity produced in Seychelles?Electricity for the island nation of Seychelles is primarily produced by diesel generators which must import their fuel (69 MW on Mahe and 12 MW on Praslin). Energy policy calls for 15% renewables by 2030. In June 2013, the first wind farm in Seychelles was officially inaugurated.
What is the Seychelles energy plan?It targets an ambitious transformation and diversification of the Seychelles’ currently 85 MW diesel-dominated electricity generation capacity (on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue), aiming at replacing diesel generators with domestic and international public and private financing.
What does the Seychelles government do?The Seychelles Government is committed to providing adequate, reliable and affordable energy to meet future energy consumption needs and to underpin strong economic growth through consumable energy initiatives. The Seychelles enjoy favourable conditions for renewable energy (RE) resources, such as wind and solar.
Who funded the Seychelles wind farm project?The wind farm project was fully funded by the Abu Dhabi government through a $28 Milliongrant to the Seychelles. The Abu Dhabi government appointed Masdar as project manager. The wind farm was originally envisaged to be commissioned by November 2012however this suffered several dela
