EnVolt’s Solar Energy Expansion: Powering Malls Across Mauritius with Ecoasis under the MSDG2 Scheme

EnVolt and Ecoasis, two subsidiaries of ENL Group specialising in energy production from renewable sources, have collaborated to launch three new solar farm projects in Mauritius. This initiative aligns with the national goal of incorporating 35% renewable energy into Mauritius' electricity mix by 2025, showcasing a majorstep towards a greener future.

These solar farm projects are part of the Medium-Scale Distributed Generation (MSDG2) Scheme, designed to empower non-domestic customers to meet their energy needs using medium-sccale photovoltaic (PV) projects. By shifting from traditional power sources to solar energy, Envolt’s new solar installations not only stabilise energy costs but also contribute robustly to the country's renewable energy goals.

Below are the project highlights at the three locations:

1. Bagatelle Home & Leisure

• • Installed Capacity: 499 kWp
  • Number of PV Panels: 908
  • Commercial Operation Date: 11 September 2024
  • Yearly Expected Production: 748,500 kWh

2. Bo Vallon Mall

• • Installed Capacity: 1200 kWp
  • Number of PV Panels: 2180
  • Commercial Operation Date: 24 October 2024
  • Yearly Expected Production: 1,920,000 kWh

3. Riche Terre Mall

• • Installed Capacity: 2000 kWp
  • Number of PV Panels: 3636
  • Expected Operation Date: Mid-December 2024
  • Yearly Expected Production: 3,200,000 kWh
  • Equivalent to annual consumption of 1400 Mauritians*
  • Estimated Reduction in CO2 Emissions: 3,000 tons

Employing the gross metering method under the MSDG2 Scheme, all energy generated is directly fed into the Central Electricity Board (CEB) grid. This approach benefits from stable tariffs, meets the energy requirements of each mall, and contributes to grid stability—further supporting Mauritius' sustainable energy development.  

Towards a greener future

ENL is committed to leading the transformation towards a sustainable future in Mauritius, propelled by its subsidiaries. EnVolt champions our sustainable development initiatives while Ecoasis implements these high-efficiency systems that adherence to grid regulations. Together, they underscore our dedication to advancing Mauritius' energy transition.
