Energy and Water Statistics
Year 2007
Highlights

1. Primary Energy Requirement

The total primary energy requirement of the country increased slightly by 0.4%, from 1,374 ktoe in 2006 to 1,379 ktoe, in 2007. It was noted that in 2007, imported fuels (petroleum products and coal) accounted for 82.2% (1,133 ktoe) while locally available sources that are renewable, supplied the remaining 17.8% (246 ktoe).

2. Electricity

Some 2,465 GWh (212 ktoe) of electricity was generated in 2007 as compared with 2,350 GWh (203 ktoe) in 2006, representing an increase of 4.9%. The Independent Power Producers supplied 59.3% of the total electricity generated and The Central Electricity Board (CEB), only 40.7%. Thermal energy represented 96.6% and hydro/wind the remaining 3.4%.

Electricity sold increased by 5.1% from 1,880 GWh in 2006 to 1,975 GWh in 2007. The average sales price of electricity went up by 4.2% from Rs 3.60 per kWh to Rs 3.75 per kWh during the same period.

3. Water

During the year 2007, the mean amount of rainfall recorded around the Island of Mauritius was 1,954 millimetres, a 2% increase compared with 1,914 millimetres registered in 2006. The mean rainfall was highest during the month of February with 572 mm and the lowest in November with only 45 mm of rainfall.

In 2007 the total volume of potable water treated by the different treatment plants amounted to 206 million cubic metres (Mm3), a 10% increase compared with 187 Mm3 in 2006
