3 Background The Republic of Mauritius is a group of islands in the South West of the Indian Ocean, consisting of the main island of Mauritius, the island of Rodrigues and the outer islands of Agalega, St. Brandon and Chagos Archipelago Latitude: 20° 17' S Longitude: 57 ° 33' E Population: About 1.3 M Area of Republic of Mauritius : 2,040 km2 Major Climatic Conditions: Sub Tropical Summer & Winter Average annual rainfall : approx mm Mauritius

4 Mauritian Economy The economy was mainly dependent on the sugar and textile industries Pillars of Mauritian Economy: Tourism Textile Information and Communication Technology Financial Sector including offshore Sugar Ocean Economy/Seafood Hub Per capita GDP at current market prices is estimated at USD 9, 800 M with a GDP growth rate of around 3.8%

5 Energy Situation in Mauritius
Energy Sources Renewable Energy Sources

6 Energy Consumption in Mauritius (2006-2015)

7 Institutional The Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities (MEPU) is responsible for the formulation of policies and strategies in the energy, water and wastewater sectors and the establishment of a responsive legal framework to govern the development of these sectors. Vision Ensure energy and water security, safe disposal of wastewater and peaceful use of nuclear technology and ionizing sources.

8 Mission To ensure: The availability of reliable electricity, water and wastewater disposal services; The development of renewable sources of energy; The promotion of peaceful use of nuclear technology and a safe utilisation of ionizing sources in line with international radiation safety practices; and, The development of programmes for the promotion of energy efficiency.

11 Utility Regulatory Authority (URA)
URA is an independent body set up in accordance with the URA Act to regulate the utility services, namely electricity, water and wastewater. Electricity Act 2005 proclaimed – URA did not become operational. In 2015, Government took the commitment to make it fully operational and in 2016, the Chairperson and Commissioners of the Board of the URA were appointed.

12 Functions of the URA: To implement the policy of Government relating to applicable utility services; To grant, vary and revoke licences in respect of a utility service; To enforce the conditions laid down in an undertaking authorisation; To regulate tariffs and other charges levied by a licensee in accordance with any rules specified in the relevant Utility legislation; To mediate or arbitrate disputes between a customer and a licensee, or between 2 or more licensees;

13 Functions of the URA: To determine whether a licensee has an obligation to extend a utility service to customers or to an area not adequately supplied with such utility service; To establish an appropriate procedure for receiving and enquiring into complaints by customers in relation to any utility services; and To establish and implement adequate systems for monitoring the compliance by licensees with standards and applicable regulations, and making such information publicly available.

14 Objectives: To ensure the sustainability and viability of utility services; To protect the interests of both existing and future customers; To promote efficiency in both operations and capital investments in respect of utility services; To promote competition to prevent unfair and anti-competitive practices in the utility services industry.

15 Staffing in process in order to work on the updating of the existing legislation regarding electricity and water as well as the formulation of regulations to enable it to fulfill its responsibilities and work on the establishment of a licensing system.

16 Energy Efficiency Management Office
Set up under Section 4 of the Energy Efficiency Act 2011 Functions: To implement strategies and programmes for the efficient use of energy To establish links with regional and international institutions and participate in programmes pertaining to the efficient use of energy. Objectives: Promote awareness for the efficient use of energy as a means to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment To highlight the initiatives in energy in the domestic, industrial, transport and services sector in view of sensitising and creating a synergy around an effective management of energy

17 Recent Initiatives by EEMO
Sensitisation Campaigns on Energy Efficiency in Primary and Secondary Schools and Social Welfare Centres Energy Audits carried out in Schools - an excel-based Energy Audit tool which follows the ISO developed to help Energy Auditors in carrying out energy audits Energy Efficiency (Registration of Energy Auditor) Regulations 2016 Energy Efficiency (Energy Consumer and Energy Audit) Regulations 2017 Energy Efficiency Labelling – Energy Efficiency (Labelling of Regulated Machinery) Regulations 2017

18 Ongoing Initiatives: Develop and enforce Minimum Energy Performance Standards for household electrical appliances Action Plans to implement demonstration projects energy efficiency projects in the Public Sector Monitoring energy efficiency in public buildings Voluntary agreements to encourage industries to adopt energy efficiency measures Establishment of Energy Performance Contracting and Energy Service Companies Energy Observatory Reports published on annual basis

19 Mauritius Renewable Energy Agency (MARENA)
Enacted by the MARENA Act of 2015 Created to oversee the development of renewable energy in Mauritius Responsible to promote renewable energy and create an environment conducive to the development of renewable energy.

20 Objectives: To promote the adoption and use of renewable energy with a view to achieving sustainable development goals; To advise on possible uses of liquid natural gas; To create an enabling environment for the development of renewable energy; To increase the share of renewable energy in the national energy mix; To share information and experience on renewable energy research and technology; and To foster collaboration and networking, at regional and international levels, with institutions promoting renewable energy.

21 Mechanism to Implement Energy Projects
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) signed between IPPs and Central Electricity Board (CEB) IPPs – Bagasse, Solar PV, Landfill Gas SIPPs – MSDGs/SSDGs Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) Agreements a contractual agreement between a public entity and a private entity, whereby the private entity performs part of a government organisation's service delivery functions, and assumes the associated risks for a significant period of time. In return, the private entity receives a benefit/financial remuneration according to predefined performance criteria, which may be derived: (a) Entirely from service tariffs or user charges; (b) Entirely from Government budgets; (c) A combination of the above.

22 PPPs can have a number of benefits, which include:
Operational gains - These can be achieved by focusing on outputs rather than processes by generating economies from integrating design, building, financing and operating phases through a more inventive use of assets. Strategic clarity - Partnership contracts enhance accountability by clarifying responsibilities and focusing on the key deliverables of a service. The real benefit of PPPs is the value for money derived from operational and strategic benefits
