In 2025, the typical cost of commercial lithium battery energy storage systems, including the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, ranges from $280 to $580 per kWh. Larger systems (100 kWh or more) can cost between $180 to $300 per kWh.
The plan includes hybrid solar plants with battery storage, a floating solar farm at the Tamarind Falls reservoir in partnership with India's National Thermal Power Corporation, and the expansion of wind farms.
As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here's a simple breakdown: This estimation shows that while the battery itself is a significant cost, the other components collectively add up, making the total price tag substantial.
The system is based on LiFePO4 lithium iron phosphate battery technology, offering high safety, a long lifespan (over 6,500 cycles), and a modular design, making it ideal for Mauritius's abundant sunlight and fragile power infrastructure.
Mauritius plans to add 405 MW of renewables and energy storage capacity to its grid over the next three years through a pipeline of projects that include solar photovoltaic systems, floating solar, wind expansion and battery storage, the country's energy ministry and public.
