Where are the Feed-In Tariffs for the Grid Code announced in Budget 2010?

Its the end of January and still no prices for the power to be sold to the utility company (CEB) as per what was announced in the Budget 2010 in November 2009. On the 13th of this month there was only a workshop on Grid Code and Feed-in Tariffs for Small Independent Power Producers (SIPP). A few local newspapers relayed the information with no real coverage except for this article from L'Express. The only figures given were that of the price at which the IPP were selling to the CEB (10~20 cents higher than it would cost the CEB to produce itself), and the price from which power should be purchased from households ranging between Rs(6.00 ~ 20.00).

Mauritians are waiting for the practical offers, incentives, subsidies and for the day they can spin back their meters to generate a revenue from their household. Where are the deliverables from the Consultants of Ea Energy Analyses? Or are we going to adopt a wait and see approach?
