Is a 100% renewable Seychelles power supply possible?The study ‘A 100% Renewable Seychelles’ (Hohmeyer, 2016) indicates that a power supply solely from renewable sources is technically feasible. With regards to the three islands, Mahé as the main island enjoys the service of a reliable electricity system, which services practically every citizen and has very few downtimes.
How much does Seychelles contribute to global emissions?With approximately 0.003% of the world ́s GHG emissions in 2011, Seychelles contributes only marginally to the global emissions on an absolute scale (GoS, 2015). However, in particular the energy sector is carbon intensive. About 90% of all domestic CO2 emissions stem from power generation and the road transportation sector.
What is the 'baseline scenario' for energy in Seychelles?So far, the “baseline scenario” for energy in Seychelles is of slow, incremental addition of RE production, that will likely meet the modest 5% RE by 2020 but will struggle to meet the 15% by 2030 target without substantial changes to overcome technical, institutional, regulatory and financial barriers.
Are fuel imports a problem in Seychelles?In 2014, fuel imports for electricity production amounted to 4% ofSeychelles’ annual national income (gross domestic product); together with the imports of transport fuels, more than 5% of the national income is used to cover fuel bills (Hohmeyer, 2016). This poses a major threat to the economic development and stability of Seychelles.
How many people live in Seychelles?Seychelles has a population of 97,625 (NBS, 2019), 99% of whom live on the inner islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, with 99% connection to the electricity grid. Electricity consumption has more than doubled from 2000 to 2015 (UNEP, 2016), driven by increasing population, rising wealth and commensurate increase in consumption.
How much does natural disaster cost in Seychelles?On a regional scale, the average economic cost of natural disasters in Seychelles is roughly 1% of the GDP, almost twice as much the average damage cost of sub-Saharan African (SSA) peers (IMF 2017
