CEB’s undergrounding of power networks project

CEB has a program for the systematic undergrounding of main feeders. In early 2017, works have started for the undergrounding of powernetwork from Savoy to La Caverne at Vacoas; following which the networks from La Caverne to Candos will be undergrounded. Several other localities form part of this master plan. These are Royal Road Phoenix to St Paul, Floreal, Belle Mare, Poste La Fayette, Plaza Rose Hill, Goodlands, Triolet, Choisy, Port Mathurin (Rodrigues) etc. The aim is to underground at least 50% of the CEB power network by 2025.

THE INSULATION OF BARE OVERHEAD POWER NETWORK LINES

The CEB is also proceeding with the insulation of its bare overhead power network on a priority basis. It is focusing on highly residential areas, villages and bats prone areas (Petit Raffray, Goodlands, Grand Gaube, Vallee des Pretes, Quatre Bornes, Albion, Bambous, Coromandel or Vacoas)

CONVERSION AND PHASING OUT OF 6.6 KV NETWORK
Part of CEB's primary distribution has been through 6.6kV while the major portions are supplied through 22kV. The CEB had embarked on
the complete conversion of the 6.6kV to 22kV some time back and this
conversion exercise was completed in early 2018.
