About Mauritius
Mauritius produces the majority of its electricity from burning fossil fuels. With no domestic reserves, the country must import fossil fuels for its power stations. Mauritius currently has three operating coal-fired power stations, which were commissioned between 2000 and 2007, providing 195 megawatts (MW) of power in total. Some of the coal units produce electricity using bagasse during the cane harvest season from July to December and coal during the intercrop season. Mauritius has no plans for future coal-fired power stations. In 2021, Mauritius joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA), aiming to phase out the use of coal by 2030. In its most recent Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), submitted in October 2021, Mauritius committed to an emissions reduction of 40% by 2030 below its Business-As-Usual Scenario (BAU), in which the country would have emitted 6.9 Mt CO2eq in that year. 65% of this emissions reduction goal is contingent on international financial support.
