Public Utilities

PUC will always seek ways to improve customer service, reduce costs, and adhere only to the highest quality standards and methods as we expand throughout the Republic of Seychelles. PUC is a public corporation established to manage and operate the electrical, water and Sewage services to the Republic of Seychelles. Comprised of a board appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Minister, the board leads the affairs and exercises the corporate powers of PUC. The board appoints a CEO with proven ability and skills in the operation of finances, personnel, and management of a utility company. The CEO is responsible to take charge of and control the operation and maintenance of the daily affairs and facilities of PUC. As the sole energy provider for the Republic of Seychelles, PUC embraces a new era for our islands. As the integration of technology into Seychellois society increased the demand for electricity, PUC invested millions into the utilities infrastructure, providing access to electricity and 24-hour service to the communities from Mahe all the way to the inner islands. PUC recently bought a new generator to increase the capacity of electricity to accommodate the demand on Praslin. As continued reliability of Service to our customers remains a priority, quick response to emergencies lessens the inconvenience of power outages. Moreover, PUC recognizes the importance of conservation. As Seychelles is an island nation whose economic and social well-being is reliant on a sustainable way of life, we encourage our customers to conserve energy whenever possible. Innovation today for a cleaner tomorrow. PUC has begun to research and implement alternative renewable and cost efficient energy sources, such as solar and hydro power, and thereby reflecting the savings back to our customers .
