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.
