dc.description.abstractSeychelles is a small island state which covers approximately 95% of its energy needs from imports of petroleum derivatives, thus spending a considerable amount of foreign exchange for meeting the energy demand on a national level. Financial, economic and environmental constraints do not allow an expansion of these imports to a much higher level. It is therefore important for the Government to regulate energy supply and demand by an appropriate energy policy. The Energy Policy Research project was initiated with the overall objective to enable a Government body to elaborate on such an energy policy, based on a comprehensive energy data base. Such a data base has been set up for Seychelles, and it contains results of supply and demand surveys, data on different energy technologies, as well as relevant economic data. Having this data at hand, a Government is in a position to analyze impacts of various policy measures on the energy flows, a process which is already being undertaken in Seychelles using computerized energy planning tools. The results of the surveys clearly indicate that policy measures have to be directed towards energy conservation and not so much towards the introduction of new and renewable energy sources, as the majority of them is economically not viable. An exception is solar water heating. As one of the more important results of the project the Energy Planning unit was able to publish an 'Energy Yearbook 1988', which is also part of this report.en
