CEB Households Scheme 2026 — Now Open

Citizen energy decentralisation is finally possible in Mauritius.

The CEB Households Scheme 2026 authorises up to 10 kWp of solar panels, full self-consumption, battery autonomy, and surplus resale at Rs 3/kWh. An energy revolution within reach of every Mauritian household.

What is the CEB Households Scheme 2026?

The CEB Households Scheme 2026 is a regulatory framework established by the Central Electricity Board of Mauritius to accelerate the residential energy transition. It allows households to install hybrid solar systems up to 10 kWp, cover their entire consumption through self-consumption, and sell unused energy back to the CEB grid at a guaranteed rate of Rs 3 per kWh. For the first time in Mauritius, the ordinary citizen becomes an active participant in their own energy production.

Concrete benefits for Mauritian households

Up to 10 kWp installed

Enough power to cover the entire consumption of an average Mauritian household, even with air conditioning.

Battery autonomy

With a hybrid system, energy produced during the day is stored and used at night. Zero blackouts, zero dependence.

Surplus resale at Rs 3/kWh

Unused energy is injected into the CEB grid and remunerated. Your installation becomes a citizen mini power plant.

CEB bill reduced to zero

Between self-consumption and resale credits, many households achieve a net zero or even negative CEB bill.

100% clean energy

Every kWh produced by your roof replaces one produced from imported fuel oil. Your carbon footprint drops drastically.

Higher property value

A property equipped with a CEB-approved solar system sells better and faster on the Mauritian market.

Rs 3 per kWh: a guaranteed rate

Every kWh your installation injects into the CEB grid is credited to you at Rs 3. This rate is contractually guaranteed for the duration of the scheme. For a 10 kWp installation, the daily surplus can represent several tens of kWh, generating significant monthly credits that directly reduce your CEB bill.

Indicative example: a surplus of 15 kWh/day = Rs 45/day = Rs 1,350/month in CEB credits.

How to access the CEB 2026 scheme?

Energy audit

A SOLAR RENT technician analyses your consumption, roof, and current CEB connection.

System sizing

Selection of optimal power, battery capacity, and hybrid configuration up to 10 kWp.

CEB application

SOLAR RENT prepares and submits the full administrative file to the CEB. You do nothing.

Installation & commissioning

Installation by SIGENERGY-certified technicians, official grid connection, and bidirectional meter activation.

Monitoring & resale

Real-time monitoring through the app. Resale credits appear directly on your monthly CEB bill.

Who can benefit from the scheme?

  • Owner of a residential property in Mauritius, or tenant with the owner's agreement
  • Existing residential low-voltage CEB connection
  • Suitable roof with sufficient surface area and favourable orientation
