6 FAQs about [Seychelles solar integration]

What is the 'baseline scenario' for energy in Seychelles?

So far, the “baseline scenario” for energy in Seychelles is of slow, incremental addition of RE production, that will likely meet the modest 5% RE by 2020 but will struggle to meet the 15% by 2030 target without substantial changes to overcome technical, institutional, regulatory and financial barriers.

Is a 100% renewable Seychelles power supply possible?

The study ‘A 100% Renewable Seychelles’ (Hohmeyer, 2016) indicates that a power supply solely from renewable sources is technically feasible. With regards to the three islands, Mahé as the main island enjoys the service of a reliable electricity system, which services practically every citizen and has very few downtimes.

Does Seychelles have electricity?

Seychelles is among four countries in the African continent with 100% access to electricity, of which over 90% of the energy is generated from fossil fuels. The energy transition is a crucial enabler of sustainable development and climate resilience.

How much does solar PV cost in Seychelles?

Based on information from the Seychelles Energy Commission (SEC), most households often purchase between 3 and 5KW solar PV capacity. The payback time of the loan is usually between 3 and 4 years, with the costs of purchase and installation ranging from $ 8,500–$ 11,000 for a 5KW capacity [ 67 ].

How much does Seychelles contribute to global emissions?

With approximately 0.003% of the world ́s GHG emissions in 2011, Seychelles contributes only marginally to the global emissions on an absolute scale (GoS, 2015). However, in particular the energy sector is carbon intensive. About 90% of all domestic CO2 emissions stem from power generation and the road transportation sector.

Are fuel imports a problem in Seychelles?

In 2014, fuel imports for electricity production amounted to 4% of Seychelles’ annual national income (gross domestic product); together with the imports of transport fuels, more than 5% of the national income is used to cover fuel bills (Hohmeyer, 2016). This poses a major threat to the economic development and stability of Seychelles.
