Réunion has 21 power plants in this atlas, with 764 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Port-Est Power Plant (211 MW, biomass; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are solar, hydro and biomass. Grid operators listed here include EDF Réunion. Electricity is regulated by CRE.
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.

Island systemSmall isolated grid
Bagasse, hydro, solar and imported fuels supply the island; tariffs follow mainland France.
No power exchange: the utility produces or buys electricity and sells it at set tariffs.
