Connection of isolated grid

    Objective
    Cross-sectoral enabler

    Seychelles needs a unified grid code in order to standardize all the connections to the grid. Until recently, all the electricity in Seychelles was generated by the Public Utilities Corporation using diesel generators. As part of the strategy to transition to 100% renewable energy, regulations have been amended to allow for grid-tied renewable energy systems (RES) and the creation of independent power producers (IPPs). This is a rapidly growing sector but is limited by a number of factors, one of which is grid stability.
