Abstract (AB)	Export of electricity y Mauritian sugar factories to the grid has gradually increased from 15kWh/t cane in 1992 to reach 52 kWh/t cane in 2001. One factory exported 112kWh/t cane with a 80 bar condensing extraction generator set. Should all the factories reach this level of electricity export with this technology, Mauritius has the potential of exporing around 700 GWh of electricity annually to the grid. Various factors, such as bagasse moisture, fibre content, steam characteristics, process steam consumption, electricity needs of the factory, all have an impact on the net electricity export. Actual measurements and derived data are used to identify areas where there is most substantial energy saving thus enabling the maximum export of electricity.
