Which companies have outdoor wind power base stations in Seychelles

Masdar developed and delivered the first large-scale renewable energy project in the Seychelles. Owned and operated by the Seychelles government, the project consists of eight wind turbines across two small islands off the coast of Mahe - five turbines on Romainville Island and three at Ile du Port.

The Port Victoria Wind Power Project, Masdar's 6MW wind farm in the Republic of Seychelles, is the country's first large-scale renewable energy project. It accounts for more than 8 per cent of the grid capacity on the archipelago's main island of Mahe, where 90 per cent of the country's residents live.

The Port Victoria wind farm is one of several ADFD-funded international projects. The Port Victoria Wind Power Project, Masdar's 6MW wind farm in the Republic of Seychelles, is the country's first large-scale renewable energy project.

Unison Company, a South Korean manufacturer and contractor, supplied the 750-kilowatt turbines. Before the wind farm began operations, the Seychelles depended entirely on imported fossil fuels to generate energy.

The project is a major step toward meeting the Seychelles' target of producing 15 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. It was financed through a grant of US$28 million from the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, a government entity that enhances living standards in developing nations.

With the farm now supplying more than 8 percent of Mahe Island's grid capacity, the integration of clean, sustainable wind energy is helping the island nation decrease power outages, address long-term energy security and reduce carbon emissions.
