On last Wednesday (10 Feb 2010) on our local TV station MBC1 in a local programme called 'Dossier' the following was said by an official of Maurice Ile Durable on the Grid-code.
A pilot project to purchase 2MW of electricity generated through renewable sources like PV, micro-hydro and micro-Wind turnines from households, would soon be launched. As usual there were no commitment on dates and tarrifs. The Maurice Ile Durable web site seems also to be under construction since last year or rather since its went online. It seems that this year another web site has been created. Lets hope we can see our suggestions posted on it.
The official also mentioned that they were expecting production capacities of 3 KW per household which would imply some 600 households would participate.
My apprehension with the Grid code is that there is no information readily available on any official web site. The tariffs have not been made public, why are things moving so slowly? By moving at this pace Mauritians will loose interest in the project.
