The TRANSMISSION network, operating at the highest voltage of 66 kV, transports power in bulk from the main sources of generation to various 66 kV-to-22 kV substations* scattered over the CEB s distribution system supplies electricity at lower voltages from its substations to various cus-tomers premises through 22 kV-to-415 V and kVto- 415 V distribution transformers. As at the end of 2011, the CEB s T&D assets were worth around Rs billion, reflecting the massive investment made in the electric network over the the size and importance of the network, it is imperative to ensure its proper management. Above all, the planning of the network is critical so that the CEB can support continuously the long-term social and economic developments of Mauritius and Ro-drigues.
