The first were installed in 2009, and are not associated with storage.The installed capacity is 13 MW, in particular via the Longoni power plant, inaugurated in 2010.Solar energy is the only renewable energy with significant development potential on the island; the wind potential (22 MW according to a study) would not lead to a significant production because the wind blows only 6 months per year. The solutions developed by Akuo, such as agrivoltaics and energy storage, are fully adapted to the island’s challenges. 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:

Water tanks in buildings are simple examples of thermal energy storage systems. On a much grander scale, Finnish energy company Vantaa is building what it says will be the world''s largest thermal energy storage
The Hamaha plant is a photovoltaic farm with storage located on the Indian Ocean island of Mayotte inaugurated in November 2023. The plant has been installed on the site of a former landfill to the northeast of the island that stopped receiving household waste in 2014 in order to begin its rehabilitation phase.
French renewable power producer and developer Akuo has officially opened a 1.2-MW solar park equipped with an integrated energy storage facility on the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. The Hamaha photovoltaic
These plans will mainly address the energy systems and namely energy and electricity production, storage, flexibility options and energy efficiency of demand sectors (i.e. buildings, industries), transport issues, and the associated funding. The environmental, social and macro-economic assessments will also be integrated in the plans.
The project delves into cutting-edge technologies encompassing renewable energy sources (RES), integrating EV charging points, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems, and advanced energy storage and
Built at the site of a former landfill, the solar plant will be capable of generating electricity to almost 1,7000 inhabitants of the island and offset 1,100 tonnes of carbon dioxide
Built at the site of a former landfill, the solar plant will be capable of generating electricity to almost 1,7000 inhabitants of the island and offset 1,100 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually. Its lithium-ion battery energy storage system of 3.5 MWh will provide discharge capacity for three hours.
Aiming at decarbonising the energy systems of geographical islands, MAESHA will deploy the necessary flexibility, storage and energy management solutions for a large penetration of Renewable Energies. Cutting-edge technical systems will be developed and installed, supported by

Solar energy is the only renewable energy with significant development potential on the island; the wind potential (22 MW according to a study) would not lead to a significant production because the wind blows only 6 months per year.
Islands face unique challenges on their journey towards achieving carbon neutrality by the mid-century, due to the lack of energy interconnections, limited domestic energy resources, extensive fossil fuel
However, a solar energy storage program, called "Opera" ("Opération pilote énergies renouvelables"), which has been waiting for the green light since 2013, could allow targeting up to 30% of solar energy in the energy mix. A new program called "Gamissa" ( "Storage"in Shimaoré) was proposed by EdM in 2019, and could constitute the

Albioma''s battery storage will provide an energy arbitration service for the grid operator and load balancing between peak and low consumption times. It will also allow for greater penetration of renewables and solar power in particular into the Mayotte network.

French renewable power producer and developer Akuo has officially opened a 1.2-MW solar park equipped with an integrated energy storage facility on the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. The Hamaha photovoltaic (PV) plant will support the archipelago''s goals of adding 60 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2028 to the 25 MW already

Decarbonize the energy systems of six islands; Integrate renewable energy sources (RES) and custom-made flexibility services; Better grid stability and reduction of the energy costs for households; 70% penetration with renewables, reaching more than 90% of Mayotte''s population
Electricity in Mayotte in 2015 was 95% thermal sources and 5% renewable energy. The multi-year energy program sets a target of 30% renewable energies in final consumption in 2020. Electricity needs are growing strongly due to the growth of Mayotte and its population, as well as the increase in electricity.
The port of Longoni generates most of the electricity in Mayotte. The energy sector in Mayotte is mainly oriented towards the consumption of electricity based on fossil fuels; renewable energies are currently underdeveloped for the moment, and there is no export of fossil fuels.
The only electricity supplier on the island is Électricité de Mayotte, a société anonyme d’économie mixte owned by the General Council of Mayotte (50.01%), Électricité de France (24,99%), SAUR International (24,99%), and the State (0,01%). EDM entered the Industries Électriques et Gazières (IEG) on 1st January 2011.
