Electricity generation (production) in Mauritius has risen in tandem with consumption, roughly doubling from the early 1990s and growing ~50% since 2000. Figure 3 shows total annual generation (in GWh) versus total domestic consumption for 2005–2023.
Mauritius's power sector has experienced steady growth in demand over the past two decades, prompting continuous expansion of electricity generation capacity.
Overall, from 2005 to 2023 the peak grew by roughly 155 MW (+44%), while installed capacity grew by about 125 MW (+15%). Throughout 2005–2023, Mauritius maintained sufficient spare capacity above peak demand, crucial for reliability. For example, in 2015 capacity (882 MW) was nearly double the 460 MW peak.
Over 2005–2023, Mauritius's electricity system grew significantly to meet rising consumption. Table 1 summarizes key indicators at selected years within this period, while the following subsections discuss major trends in capacity, demand, generation, and energy mix.
