In 2010, the Government of Mauritius launched, with UNDP support, the Small-Scale Distributed Generation (SSDG) scheme, which has assisted 237 households, schools and public institutions to install small-scale (<50 kW) photovoltaic (PV) panels and wind turbines through the provision of a targeted feed-in tariff scheme. The Government stated its desire to scale-up the scheme to encompass additional households and larger institutions and is considering investing in Energy Storage System and accompanying software for intermittent renewable energy.
