Bérenger) (by Private Notice) asked the Vice- Prime Minister, Minister of Energy and Public Utilities whether, in regard to electricity, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the Central Electricity Board, information as to – (a) if the St. Louis 60 MW contract has been awarded; (b) if it is going ahead with the – (i) Tank Farm Project at Bain des Dames, indicating - A. whether a new location and EIA are being sought therefor, and B. where matters stand concerning the National Ramsar Committee; (ii) purchase of two Gas Turbines, indicating the – A. estimated cost thereof; B. price of electricity using diesel oil, and C. impact on the environment of diesel oil as compared to coal, and (c) when the tariffs thereof will be lowered. Mr Collendavelloo: Madam Speaker, with regard to part (a) of the question, I informed the House in my reply to the PNQ of 01 April 2015 that in February 2014 the Central Electricity Board had initiated a procurement process for four diesel engines each of 15 MW capacity. Five prequalified bidders had been invited to submit proposals. Only one was received and the Central Procurement Board found that the bid was substantially non- responsive and that it was not in a position to approve any award of the contract. Based on that decision, the Central Electricity Board cancelled the procurement process after consulting the African Development Bank which was the funding agency. There was a challenge at the Independent Review Panel and subsequently in the Supreme Court. On 13 November 2015, the bidder withdrew his case. 8 In July 2015, the Central Electricity Board, on the advice of the African Development Bank, initiated a second procurement exercise with revised specifications for a total 60 MW with 10% plus or minus. The new bid specifications were approved by the African Development Bank. At the closing date on 01 October 2015, five bids had been received at the Central Procurement Board. On 11 November 2015, the Central Procurement Board informed the Central Electricity Board that it had approved the award of the contract to Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S (BWSC) for the total evaluated contract price of EUR85,185,404+Rs823,922,094, excluding VAT. The Central Procurement Board requested the Central Electricity Board to proceed with the notification of the award in accordance with the Public Procurement Act after having sought the concurrence of the Funding Agency, the African Development Bank, and to revert to the Central Procurement Board after the notification period or earlier. On 12 November 2015, the Central Electricity Board informed the African Development Bank of the Central Procurement Board’s decision and has sent the Evaluation Report to the Bank. The reply from the Bank is expected by mid-December 2015. It is expected that the award of the contract will be made early next year and the project would be completed by June/July 2017. As regards part (b), following the clearance from the National Ramsar Committee, the Central Electricity Board has repositioned the Tank Farm on the same site at Les Grandes Salines. The Contractor has been advised that he may proceed in the meantime with the design part of the Tank construction. Physical works will start as soon as possible. In November, the Central Electricity Board informed the Ministry of Environment of the repositioning of the tanks on the same site. The Central Electricity Board has also appointed Hydro Geological Experts to address the requirement of the National Ramsar Committee and the experts are expected to carry out their assignment in the course of this month. As regards part (b) (ii) - 9 (i) A consultant will be appointed in January 2016 to proceed with the implementation of two 30 MW gas turbines as a first phase for the final Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) configuration. (ii) The estimated cost of the two gas turbines is Rs1.6 billion. (iii) The current price of electricity generation using diesel fuel at Central Electricity Board Thermal Station ranges from Rs3.35/kWh to Rs3.98/kWh (These are the figures for June 2015). (iv) The impact on environment is measured in tonnes CO2/MWh (tonnes per Megawatt hour). With coal it ranges from 1.29 to 1.63 t/MWh. With diesel oil in Central Electricity Board stations it is currently 0.58 tonnes/MWh. I now come to part (c) of the question. I informed the House in my reply to the PNQ on 22 September 2015 that an overall tariff decrease is not envisaged. I wish to reiterate that contrary to other organisations, the Central Electricity Board took the judicious decision not to resort to hedging at the time that heavy fuel oil and coal prices were increasing on the world market. This enabled the Central Electricity Board to benefit from the current drop in the prices of these commodities. The CEB has to invest heavily in new generation capacity in the coming years as advised by the World Bank and the African Development Bank. I also drew the attention of the House that the electricity tariff is not indexed to inflation and foreign currencies for payment of loans. This may erode the surplus. I had stated that I would look into a lower tariff for lower income groups. I am pleased to announce that on 27 November 2015, Government has endorsed the decision of the CEB to introduce a new Social Tariff 110A as from 01 January 2016. When the Social Tariff 110A was introduced in 2012, there were 30,629 customers whose electricity consumption did not exceed 75 kWh. By September 2015, this number had reduced to 7,875. I asked the Central Electricity Board to review the scheme and it has come up with a new one which would benefit about 70,000 households. With the new scheme, households with an average monthly consumption of up to 85kWh will benefit from a lower tariff, that is - 10 (i) Rs2.18/kWh for the first 25 kWh instead of Rs3.16; (ii) Rs3.04/kWh for the next 25 kWh instead of Rs4.38, and (iii) Rs3.28/kWh instead of Rs4.74/kWh for the next 35 kWh. The CEB is working in close consultation with the Ministry of Social Security, National Solidarity and Reform Institutions and the National Empowerment Foundation for the implementation of the scheme. The households benefitting from the scheme will include - (i) households receiving social allowance from the Ministry of Social Security, National Solidarity and Reform Institutions, Social Register of Mauritius for Child allowance, irrespective of the criteria defined by CEB; (ii) households identified by the National Empowerment Foundation (NEF) as registered by the Ministry of Social Security, National Solidarity and Reform Institutions, irrespective of the criteria set by CEB, and (iii) domestic consumers, of course, excluding those on the Social Register, who satisfy the criteria set by CEB.

  • Small States & Territories, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2020, Pp. 83-98 Women's Political
    Small States & Territories, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2020, pp. 83-98 Women’s political representation in Small Island Developing States: A comparative analysis of Mauritius and Seychelles Ramola Ramtohul Department of Social Studies University of Mauritius [email protected] Abstract: A notable feature of the island studies literature is the gap at the level of research and data on gender issues. This paper look at the gender dimensions of political representation in two Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Indian Ocean: Mauritius and Seychelles. The paper discusses the gendered aspects of scale, boundedness, isolation and fragmentation that are characteristic of island states in the contexts of Mauritius and Seychelles. Mauritius and Seychelles both inherited British colonial structures and became independent in 1968 and 1976. Smallness is a salient feature of both islands, but women’s political trajectories and success differ substantially. Drawing from published sources, this paper attempts to explain the different trends in gendered political presence in Mauritius and Seychelles. The paper also discusses the implications for women’s political empowerment in SIDS. Keywords: Mauritius, Seychelles, scale, women’s political representation, patriarchy © 2020 – Islands and Small States Institute, University of Malta, Malta Introduction The field of island studies is a relatively recent area of scholarship that gained impetus with the increased global concern about climate change and vulnerabilities of small island states. Following decolonisation of the developing world, many islands became sovereign states, left to fend for themselves in order to ensure economic and social survival. Island countries constitute most of all small sovereign states (Srebrnik, 2004, p.

    Forgotten by families Anushka Virahsawmy CHAPTER 2 Gender and governance Articles 12-13 Namibia scored a goal for gender equality in its November 2014 elecions. KEY POINTS Photo courtesy of All Africa.com • The year 2015 marks the deadline for the SADC region to have reached gender parity in all areas of decision-making. No country has reached the 50% target of women's representation in parliament, cabinet or local government. • Over the past six years, women's overall representation in parliament has gone up by only two percentage points from 25% in 2009 to 27% in 2015. Seychelles (4th) and South Africa (7th) are the only two SADC countries in the top ten global ranking of women parliamen- tarians. However as a region SADC is five percentage points ahead of the global average of women in parliament (22%). • Women's representation in local government has increased by a mere one percentage point from 23% in 2009 to 24% in 2015. • Women's representation in cabinet has virtually remained stagnant at 22% since 2009. • Women in eight SADC countries have, for the first time, occupied top positions during the monitoring period. In June, Mauritius became the second SADC country after Malawi to have a woman President. SADC currently has a woman vice president in Zambia, as well as a woman prime minister and deputy prime minister in Namibia. • Between July 2015 and the end of 2016, seven more SADC countries - DRC (local); Lesotho (local), Madagascar (local), Tanzania (Tripartite) and Zambia (National), South Africa and Namibia (local) are due to hold elections.
