Donor reports

Public performance reports linked from the funder. GCF reporting for these projects is annual (APR), not a quarterly calendar unless a document says so. A missing year means it was not on the funder site we reviewed - not that we marked it overdue.

Results stated by sources

  • 18 MW utility-scale battery energy storage system, GCF grant USD 10.5M, reported fully operational since December 2021. Source
  • UNDP project page (reviewed 2026): more than 2,000 families, including 100 in Rodrigues, received a rooftop solar PV kit. Source
  • UN Mauritius (April 2026) reports more than 3,000 low-income households across Mauritius, Rodrigues and Agaléga received rooftop PV. That figure differs from the UNDP project-page “more than 2,000 families” line - both are published; neither is reconciled here. Source
