ENERGY PROFILE Seychelles
Distribution of wind potential Annual generation per unit of installed PV capacity (MWh/kWp) Wind power density at 100m height (W/m2)
The Seychelles Government is committed to providing adequate, reliable and affordable energy to meet future energy consumption needs and to underpin strong economic growth through consumable energy initiatives. The Seychelles enjoy favourable conditions for renewable energy (RE) resources, such as wind and solar.
Since 2009 our team has been sourcing out and installing the best solar photovoltaic (PV) technology available on the global market. At Sun Tech PV Energy Company Seychelles our aim is to ensure that your PV technology and installation is of the highest quality in order for it to live up to its life expectancy.
It targets an ambitious transformation and diversification of the Seychelles' currently 85 MW diesel-dominated electricity generation capacity (on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue), aiming at replacing diesel generators with domestic and international public and private financing.
The 5MWp Solar Farm was inaugurated on 12th December 2022 by the Vice President of the Republic of Seychelles, H.E. Ahmed Afif and the Deputy Director General of Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, H.E Khalifa Abdulla Al Qubaisi.

It proposes a balanced mix of power sources, including baseload thermal generation and renewable technologies such as solar PV, wind, and waste-to-energy, all supported by battery
The Seychelles enjoy favourable conditions for renewable energy (RE) resources, such as wind and solar. However, renewable energy has been very little tapped so far – the only renewable energy
Sun Tech Seychelles Solar (PV) Systems Installer is ready to help you go green! Since 2009 our team has been sourcing out and installing the best solar photovoltaic (PV) technology
As the first IPP utility-scale project in Seychelles and one of the largest floating solar PV projects in Africa, it represents a significant milestone for the region.
The Solar Farm has doubled the amount of energy produced from renewable energy in Seychelles, reduced the emission of greenhouse gases related to electricity produced from fossil fuel, and
The proposed wind energy conversion system with battery energy storage is used to exchange the controllable real and reactive power in the grid and to maintain the power quality norms as per
To demonstrate the impact of solar and wind power, participants saw Seychelles'' renewable energy infrastructure up close in Île Romainville. Engineers from the Public Utilities
In 2023, solar energy emerged as the leading source of electricity production from renewable sources in Seychelles, marking a continued shift towards sustainable energy.
The Seychelles has long faced challenges in its journey towards renewable energy, primarily due to limited land availability, suboptimal wind resources, and its reliance on Heavy Fuel
