Hence, the proposal for implementation various key renewable energy projects proposed for Mahé, Praslin and La Digue.

This includes various Renewable Photo Voltaic (PV) Projects for the above three main islands, in the form of Agri-Voltaic PV, Floating PV Systems, PV plant mounted on elevated structures as well as others. PUC also recognizes the need to transit to a cleaner fuel in the short to medium term, hence discussions with the Masdar team also revolved around potential conventional generation projects such as transitioning to hydrogen.
