This issue of the „Digest of Energy and Water Statistics, 2013? covers the period 2004 to 2013 for energy statistics, and the years 2009 to 2013 for water statistics. The figures have been compiled in close collaboration with the Central Electricity Board (CEB), the Central Water Authority (CWA), the Water Resources Unit (WRU), the Meteorological Services, the petroleum companies and the Independent Power Producers (IPPs). All data refer to the Republic of Mauritius, unless otherwise specified.

In order to compare the energy content of the different fuels, a common accounting unit, namely tonne of oil equivalent (toe) is used. The conversion factors are given on page 15. Figures presented in the tables may not add up to totals, due to rounding.
