GreenYellow, a company specialising in decentralised energy solutions, continues its expansion in the Mauritian market with the signing of a new solar contract for an installed capacity of 1.8 megawatt-peak (MWp). This project, developed in partnership with Meaders Feeds Ltd, a Mauritian agri-food group, is part of the Carbon Neutral Industrial Sector Scheme (CNIS), a governmental initiative aiming to reduce carbon emissions in the local industrial sector.

A strengthened partnership between the two companies

This new project follows an initial collaboration launched in 2023 between GreenYellow and Meaders Feeds Ltd for the construction of a 450 kWp rooftop photovoltaic plant, currently under construction. Like the first plant, the entire electricity production of this additional solar installation will be directly injected into the national grid of Mauritius.

With an annual production projected at more than 2.9 gigawatt hours (GWh), this solar plant will generate the equivalent of the total annual electricity consumption of Meaders Feeds Ltd. This production also corresponds to the average annual consumption of around 700 Mauritian households.

Tangible energy and economic benefits

The development of this solar facility will help avoid approximately 2,100 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions annually, thus contributing to Mauritius’s renewable energy targets. Moreover, the energy produced will secure a stable energy supply at controlled costs for Meaders Feeds Ltd, a decisive factor in a competitive industrial environment.

Iqbal Mohungoo, Managing Director at Meaders Feeds Ltd, said in a statement: “Producing better, cleaner and more sustainably: that is the goal we have set for ourselves at Meaders. This new partnership with GreenYellow is a major step towards a greener industry, and we are proud to contribute to Mauritius’s energy objectives.”

Strategic regional deployment for GreenYellow Austral

The project also confirms the regional strategy of GreenYellow Austral, an entity grouping the company’s operations in Mauritius, La Réunion, Mayotte, and South Africa. In Mauritius, GreenYellow currently has a capacity of more than 50 MWp in operation or under development, with an estimated annual production of 75 GWh.

In line with this momentum, GreenYellow Austral is continuing to develop other projects in the region, with nearly 50 MWp additional capacity planned in the near future. These initiatives aim to support Mauritius’s national energy policy, whose target is to reach 60% renewable energy in its energy mix by 2030.

Benoit Regnard, Director of GreenYellow Austral, stated: “This project perfectly reflects our commitment to offering high-performing, sustainable solar solutions tailored to the real needs of economic actors in Mauritius.”
