Mauritius is not a maritime chokepoint, nor should it pretend to be one. Its strategic value lies elsewhere: in its ability to act as a trusted, neutral and stable platform inside an Indian Ocean system becoming more contested, more expensive and less forgiving. This Bramston & Associates study examines how Mauritius can convert stability into strategic value while protecting the domestic foundations on which that stability depends.
The assassination of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi does not mark a return to order in Libya. It marks the end of a particular form of political ambiguity. For years, Libya functioned as a system of suspended outcomes — fragmented, yet operational; divided, yet partially coherent through shared oil and financial mechanisms. Saif embodied one of the last remaining alternative pathways within that system. His removal narrows the field. What emerges is not a unified state, but a more controlled equilibrium in which power consolidates without fully legitimising itself, and where the country’s strategic value increasingly lies in its role as a corridor rather than a polity.
This report analyses Bahrain’s energy settlement as a system—balancing gas security, power demand, industrial strategy, and fiscal limits—offering a grounded assessment of the country’s transition pathway to 2060.
Mauritius is not running out of water—but it is running out of certainty. This report shows how adaptive planning, AI and robust decision making can safeguard water security under climate volatility.
Mauritius is facing a dangerously thin reserve margin, rising peak demand, and increasing blackout risk. This Bramston IQ research report examines how hydrogen-based energy storage can act as a practical, modular and financeable “insurance policy” against system failures. Drawing on official Mauritian data and global evidence, it outlines a Hydrogen Resilience Reserve, compares hydrogen with batteries and peakers, and charts a phased roadmap to secure reliable, low-carbon power for the island.
Mauritius has pledged deep emissions cuts and a rapid expansion of renewables, yet still relies heavily on imported fossil fuels. This report transforms high-level climate ambition into a concrete, measurable framework—offering a national scorecard to track decarbonisation, security, affordability, governance, inclusion and innovation. It provides senior leaders with the tools to build a credible, investable and socially just energy transition for Mauritius.
Mauritius is entering a new era of infrastructure risk, where volatile fuel markets, accelerating climate impacts, and ageing energy and water systems converge to create deep uncertainty. This report proposes a pioneering C4ISR–DMDU framework that blends defence-grade situational awareness with robust, adaptive planning to help the country identify low-regret investments and strengthen long-term resilience. Drawing on authoritative national data and international best practice, it outlines how integrated sensing, real-time analytics, and adaptive pathways can transform decision-making in both the energy and water sectors—ensuring Mauritius remains secure, resilient, and future-ready.
