Mayotte micro grid projects

MAESHA

The project MAESHA is designed to decarbonize the energy systems of six islands in different geographical areas which are currently strained by their dependency on imported fossil fuels from aging power plants, negatively impacting network resilience.

The Project

MAESHA will demonstrate the solutions on the French overseas island of Mayotte and study replicability potential on 5 follower islands representing more than 1.2 million inhabitants spread in geographical Europe and overseas territories.

Albioma-Mayotte Battery Energy Storage System, Mayotte

The Albioma-Mayotte Battery Energy Storage System is being developed by Albioma. The key applications of the project are renewable energy integaration, electric energy time shift and grid support services.

The EU-funded MAESHA project will develop smart and flexible methods of storage and energy management as well as modelling tools and technical systems with the aim of promoting the transition towards sustainable energy.

Akuo Unveils 1.2 MW Hamaha Plant in Mayotte, France

The 1.2 MW plant, constructed by Sagemcom, will supply sustainable electricity to 1,700 residents, supporting Mayotte''s target of adding 60 MW by 2028. Featuring Lithium-ion batteries, the plant''s storage mechanism stabilizes the grid by smoothing out solar production and injecting stored energy during peak demand, facilitating Mayotte''s

The Maesha Project

Mayotte is just the first of 2,400 islands to see its energy transformed by the MAESHA project. What we learn from this project could help make a net zero future possible for 16 million islanders – and make a big difference to some of our most delicate ecosystems.

Production of renewable energy in Mayotte

Akuo''s long-standing development work came to fruition in 2022 with the construction of two projects that will play a key role in grid regulation: LESPORT, located in Ironi Bé, with 1.3MWp of solar power and a 3MWh battery, is the first photovoltaic greenhouse project on the island.
