The wind farm is being built near the port in the capital city of Victoria, which is located on Mahé – the largest and most populous island in the Indian Ocean archipelago.

The project will be expanded to 18MW, generating the equivalent of 10-15% of Mahé’s electricity requirements.

Like nearly all of the Seychelles, Mahé is heavily dependent on diesel-fired generators for its electricity and suffers from frequent power shortages.
