The vision of the Government of Mauritius is to achieve the self-sufficiency in energy supply in the long term, where individual houses would have the possibility and capacity to fully tap renewable resources such as wind, solar, biogas in a decentralized system, which would allow energy supply to continue to be affordable to all citizens. Hence, the key objectives of the Mauritian energy policy are to:
- Limit the vulnerability of Mauritius to imported fossil fuels and their volatile prices
- promote economic growth and job creation
- Democratize energy supply
- Secure affordable energy to consumers
- Ensure the financial sustainability of the Utility
