Mauritius has published tenders for solar plus storage projects totalling 220 MW. The tender is launched on a new E-Marketplace created by the International Solar Alliance, which aims to improve bankability and access to finance for projects in small island developing states (SIDS).
Mauritius has announced a tender for 220 MW of solar capacity, along with an unspecified capacity of battery energy storage systems (BESS), to be spread across ten 10 MW projects and three 40 MW projects.
Originally launched in April, and closing in mid-July 2026, these tenders were highlighted this week at a Pacific SIDS Dialogue event held in Bali, Indonesia, thanks to their partnership with the World Bank and International Solar Alliance to launch a new ‘e-Marketplace’ for small island states to publish solar and storage tenders.
The marketplace is described by ISA as “a live, transparent, readiness-based digital platform enabling island governments to list, compare, and advance projects with access to international developers and financiers.” It promises planned renewable energy projects improved visibility among global project developers, financiers and service providers as well as assistance to ensure bankability and support with bid evaluation, procurement and other stages.
