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.
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.
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.
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.
Can wind energy be used to power mobile phone base stations?Worldwide thousands of base stations provide relaying mobile phone signals. Every off-grid base station has a diesel generator up to 4 kW to provide electricity for the electronic equipment involved. The presentation will give attention to the requirements on using windenergy as an energy source for powering mobile phone base stations.
