Energy Sector Reset: Aim for 60% Renewables by 2035
This Monday 11th August, Minister Patrick Assirvaden announced that the energy sector is undergoing a reset. The statement was made during a workshop held at Ocean’s Creek Hotel in Balaclava, organized jointly by the Mauritius Renewable Energy Agency (MARENA) and the Ministry of Energy.
In his speech, Minister Assirvaden clarified that the new goal is to achieve 60% renewable energy by 2035, instead of the previous target of 2030.
He criticized the past government for creating “an illusion” over the earlier timeline, implying that the previous plan was unrealistic.
The workshop, led by Fareed Jaunbocus, CEO of Strategos Ltd, focused on validating the Renewable Energy Strategic Plan for 2025-2030.
