Information on the Utility company

The only utility company in Mauritius is the CEB (Central Electricity Board) and supplies electricity to the domestic or residential market at 240 Volts with a frequency of 50Hz. The peak power supplied on its grid in 2008 was 378MW. However the CEB only produces 36.8% and the remaining 63.2% is from the Independent Power Producers (IPPs). 22% of the electricity already comes from the following renewable sources hydro(4%) and sugar cane bagasse(18%). When bagasse from the sugar cane is not available during none harvest periods coal is burnt instead by the IPPs.
