OTEC Country Notes

Mauritius
With its heavy dependence on imported fossil fuels for energy supply, Mauritius has increasingly been looking at developing the renewable energies available to the Republic. In 2005 Xenesys, and Saga University, both of Japan and working on the development of OTEC systems, were represented at the UN conference for Small Island Developing States held in Mauritius. Although much interest was shown in utilising the Republic's ocean thermal resource, there has to date been no development.
