Seychelles' latest energy storage project
📌

What is the energy storage system in the 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 Mahé and further increasing the resilience of the national grid of the Seychelles.

📌

Does the deployment of PV grow on the small power system in Seychelles?

If the deployment of PV systems grows on the small power system in Seychelles, issues such as the impact on system frequency due to PV output fluctuations are expected, and there are concerns.

📌

Does the Seychelles use fossil fuels?

The Seychelles currently relies on fossil fuels, which account for around 20 percent of its imports, to meet its electricity demand. It is estimated the Ile de Romainville solar project will save approximately 2 million liters of fuel annually.

📌

Why is the PUC planning a power transition in Seychelles?

For the next four to five years, the PUC has carefully scheduled this transition in order to guarantee a stable energy supply that can sufficiently sustain the nation's economy. Seychelles currently has a total power generation capacity of 129MW, mostly produced by PUC, through its diesel power plants and solar farms.

📌

Who financed the Seychelles wind turbine project?

The project was financed by Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), and is being developed by Masdar and the Seychelles’ Public Utilities Corporation (PUC). The PV array is specifically designed to maximise the use of available land, while allowing for maintenance of the wind turbines and minimising any shading losses resulting from them.

📌

How many liters of fuel will the Ile de Romainville solar project Save?

It is estimated the Ile de Romainville solar project will save approximately 2 million liters of fuel annually. Romainville Solar Park is a 5-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant with battery storage in the Re¬public of Seychelles.
