6 FAQs about [Wind turbine battery bank Seychelles]

How many wind turbines are there in the Seychelles?

Masdar developed and delivered the first large-scale renewable energy project in the Seychelles. Owned and operated by the Seychelles government, the project consists of eight wind turbines across two small islands off the coast of Mahe - five turbines on Romainville Island and three at Ile du Port.

When will electricity be produced in the Seychelles?

Electricity production is expected to be highly seasonal with the majority of energy produced in the months of June to September when wind strength and wind probability are highest on the island of Mahe. Project Development The wind farm project was fully funded by the Abu Dhabi government through a $28 Million grant to the Seychelles.

What is Seychelles' energy policy?

Energy policy calls for 15% renewables by 2030. In June 2013, the first wind farm in Seychelles was officially inaugurated. This 6 MW power plant can produce up to 2% of the Seychelles' power and is located on Mahé Island. It is expected that the wind farm will replace 1.6 million litres of diesel fuel annually.

How is the Seychelles energy project financed?

The project is a major step toward meeting the Seychelles’ target of producing 15 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. It was financed through a grant of US$28 million from the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, a government entity that enhances living standards in developing nations.

Who built the Seychelles wind farm?

Unison Company, a South Korean manufacturer and contractor, supplied the 750-kilowatt turbines. Before the wind farm began operations, the Seychelles depended entirely on imported fossil fuels to generate energy.

What is the Port Victoria wind power project?

The Port Victoria Wind Power Project, Masdar’s 6MW wind farm in the Republic of Seychelles, is the country’s first large-scale renewable energy project. It accounts for more than 8 per cent of the grid capacity on the archipelago’s main island of Mahe, where 90 per cent of the country’s residents live.
