Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

Rules and tariffs follow mainland France: consumers pay the national regulated tariff and the extra cost of island generation is shared nationally.

Who regulates

  • CREEnergy regulator

Electricity rules follow France.

Who controls the grid

EDF SEI runs the grid and buys power from local generators.

Markets & power exchanges

No power exchange: the utility produces or buys electricity and sells it at set tariffs.

Regional grid

Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.

What does “Island system” mean?

A small grid that is not connected to a larger network. One utility typically runs generation and distribution, often relying on imported fuel, with solar and batteries increasingly added.
