The government’s energy policy encourages the use of renewable and clean energy to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Official statistics for 2020 indicated that the percentage of renewables used for electricity generation was 23.9 percent, compared to 21.7. . Solar Technology: Much of Mauritius receives almost year-round, intensive sunlight that makes solar photovoltaic (PV) energy an attractive energy option, with a. [pdf]
Mauritius aims to increase the share of renewable energy sources in its energy mix, which leads to fluctuating power injection. To reduce this fluctuation from variable renewable energy sources, the installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is required.
The Mauritian energy transition to a low carbon economy is picking up speed. The CEB has installed the first grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the first in its kind in Mauritius, to enable high capacity storage of renewable energy in the grid.
This is in line with the Government of Mauritius’ Long Term Energy Strategy 2009-2025 to increase the share of renewable energy in our energy mix (electricity production, transportation sector and manufacturing) to 35% by, namely, reducing the country’s dependence on coal and heavy oil for electricity generation.
Mauritius generates energy through various means including wind farms, solar energy, biomass, wave, and waste-to-energy projects. Currently, bagasse (sugarcane waste) is the leading source, contributing 13.3 percent to the renewable energy generation. Mauritius derives other renewable electricity from hydro, wind, landfill gas, and solar.
According to MARENA, there are currently no building integrated photovoltaics in Mauritius. Energy efficiency is now one of the main criteria in the design of public buildings and in rental of private buildings. The Green Building Council Mauritius was set up in 2009 to promote green building and is a member of World Green Building Council.
The Smart Grid Roadmap for Mauritius was launched in December 2018 to help the CEB integrate new technologies in the power system, enhancing reliability, safety, and security.

The fast increase of Cameroon population growth rate and the actual shortage of electricity plaguing the country, particularly in remote areas, give rise to great challenges in the energy generation sector. Nowadays. . ••Wind and hydrogen potential of Cameroon Far North Region is. . Global alarms are booming seriously concerning climate change menacing the entire planet. The momentum to investigate scientific revolutions that shall minimize humanity's carbo. . The Far North Region is one of the ten regions of Cameroon, having a surface area of 34,263 km2, an average elevation of 321 m above the sea level and is the most populated r. . For the Far North Region, the aim of assessing the viability of employing wind energy and evaluating the wind energy potential for producing electricity and hydrogen is broa. . In this section, the outcomes of the evaluation of the techno-economic potential of wind electricity and wind hydrogen production in six selected locations of Cameroon Far N. [pdf]
The only practical example of non-commercial wind turbines operating in Cameroon are the many off grid micro wind turbines developed at the Renewable Energy Laboratory of the University of Dschang. The permanent magnet wind turbines are 1–2 kW capacities while the successful induction motor type are 2–10 kW.

Hydroelectric energy in Cameroon is one of the major energies in the country produces in three major station located on the Sanaga river. For so many years now, the energy sector in the country has suffered from energy crises since hydropower is the main source of energy production.
Cameroon forest area occupies about 25 million Ha covering almost 50% of the country. The electricity potential from biomass has been estimated at about 1 GWh. The majority of Cameroonians use biomass for cooking and the estimate for national access to clean cooking solutions is at 23%. Biomass constitutes 66.7% of national energy consumption.
The electricity is supplied from two main hydroelectric stations, Edea (384 MW) and Song-Loulou (264 MW), located on the Sananga River, and a the Lagdo in the northern parts of the Country. Cameroon's installed electrical capacity was 3.90 billion kWh by the end of 2010 [ 10, 13 ]. About 95% of Cameroonians do not have access to electricity.
Hydropower being one of the most used source of energy production in the world it has also developed rapidly in Cameroon whereby about 90% of the electricity generated is from hydropower and it also help in bursting the country‟s economy by exportation to neighbouring countries.
