Get a quoteThe plant will increase Mozambique’s installed capacity by 50% and generate 8.6 TWh per year, enough to power more than 3 million homes. A GREEN REVOLUTION: The country is also actively developing other renewable energy segments, such as solar and wind, which together are expected to represent 20% of domestic energy production by 2040.
The optimal power system expansion plan if wind and solar capacity are allowed to triple to reach almost 3 GW by 2032. Currently, the power system of Mozambique is separated into two transmission networks isolated from one another: the Central-Northern and Southern systems. Over 50% of the annual power demand is seen in the Southern system.
Including hydropower, renewables currently make up 70% of all energy produced in Mozambique. Hydropower has traditionally been the largest contributor to Mozambique’s power production. The country has one of the largest potentials in Africa, largely thanks to the mighty Zambezi River, which boasts a projected production capacity of 20 GW.
Despite this huge generation potential only 38.6%1) of its population had access to electricity in 2021. The total installed power capacity in Mozambique stood at around 2,800 MW in the year 2021 whereas the peak demand reported by the state-owned energy utility Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) was at 1,035 MW.
A power mix that takes advantage of its vast energy resources in a cost-effective way and provides a solid foundation for the long-term development of its power system. The use of proven power generation technologies coupled with a well-structured and realistic data-driven plan will enable Mozambique to reach its electrification goal.
Since Mozambique has high hydro power potential, the country is focusing on developing large hydro projects that aim to be operational at the beginning of 2030’s. Hydropower projects play an important role in decarbonizing the power sector in Mozambique.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%.
