Seychelles upping its renewable energy electricity capacity
The Republic of Seychelles has inaugurated its second clean energy project, a 5MW solar PV plant with battery storage. Developed by Masdar and the Seychelles'' Public Utilities Corporation (PUC), the Ile de Romainville Solar Park was financed by Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD).
Ile de Romainville Solar Park
The Ile de Romainville Solar Park is a 5-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant with battery storage in the Republic of Seychelles. The project includes an energy storage system with a capacity of 5MW and 3.3 megawatt-hours (MWh), allowing for the safe and stable supply of electricity from the PV power plant to the main island of
Energy Transition in Seychelles: Bringing Power to the People
The PV democratisation 2.0 project aims to increase access to solar PV to households who cannot afford a rooftop PV system, access a low-cost loan, or have a roof that is not conducive to installing a PV system. An exciting people-centred energy transition is underway in Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands off East Africa in the Indian Ocean.

Renewable energy in Seychelles
Renewable energy in Seychelles is a recent development in providing power to the country. 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
Future role of wave power in Seychelles: A structured sensitivity
A defossilisation of the energy system towards 100% renewable energy (RE) sources is the number one priority to fight climate change [6] and is also envisioned by the Seychelles [7]. A broad electrification of the energy system opens the door for the two leading RE technologies: solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind power [ 8 ].
Floating solar plant to be built in Seychelles
An independent renewable power producer is to construct a 5.8MWp floating solar plant to supply renewable energy to the Seychelles grid. Qair signed the first Seychellois floating solar power purchase agreement (PPA) with PUC, the Republic of Seychelles'' Public Utilities Corporation, aboard the Energy Observer this week.

Qair signs 5.8-MWp floating solar PPA in Seychelles
French independent renewable power producer Qair said today it has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for a 5.8-MWp floating solar plant in the Seychelles, bringing to an end negotiations that started in November 2019 when it won a tender for the project.

Seychelles'' first floating solar park to go live by end-2023
The project in the lagoon of Providence on Mahe island will create the country''s first independent power producer (IPP) plant and will be the East African nation''s first utility-scale floating photovoltaic (PV) system. French renewable power producer Qair won a tender to install the plant in 2018.
