Seychelles relies heavily on fossil fuels to meet its electricity demand, with fossil fuels accounting for around 20% of the country''s imports. The country has set a target of 5% renewables by 2020 and 15 percent by 2030.
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
Through the Climate Investment Platform, UNDP is supporting the Seychelles Energy Commission''s initiative to make the adoption of renewable energy accessible to the population that would otherwise not be able to afford to do so.
• The 2030 commitment to use renewable energy (RE) by modernizing the entire electricity sector, increased electricity generation from renewable sources, improved energy efficiency across sectors, and to secure a sustainable and resilient water management system through water supply mobilisation;
It aims to diversify the energy supply, with a Seychelles Energy Policy for 2010-2030 recommends a sustainable development of the energy sector focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy and reducing the dependence on oil to improve energy security.

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 on Praslin). [1] Energy policy calls for 15% renewables by 2030.
Considering the extensive protected areas on the main islands, the realisation of pumped hydro energy storage in the Seychelles might have to be discussed further. Other Indian Ocean islands might lack the required elevation for such solutions.
The Seychelles enjoy favourable conditions for renewable energy (RE) resources, such as wind and solar. However, renewable energy has been very little tapped so far – the only renewable energy installation being a 4 MW wind farm off Port Victoria and
