Power Sector Reforms in SubSaharan Africa: the Mauritius Experience

Chapter 8 in Power Sector Reform in SubSaharan Africa, 2000, pp 176-185 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the past 15 years Mauritius has experienced a rapid economic growth. This is the result of the pursuance of an industrialization strategy that preserves the monoculture-based sugar production. The growth of the economy has resulted in significant increase in energy consumption in all sectors of the economy. Electricity consumption, in particular, has grown significantly, from 380 GWh to 1151 GWh during a 12-year period. This increase, in a small island country with limited energy resources, has raised the problem of the economic development of the energy sector in order to ensure the country’s sustained development.
