What is Mozambique's new energy grid?

Located in Niassa province, one of Mozambique’s most underserved provinces with an electrification rate of just over 20 per cent, the $36 million project will provide clean energy to 18,000 households and support the creation of local jobs. The project marks a significant milestone as the first IPP grid-scale storage plant in sub-Saharan Africa.

Which energy sources are used in Mozambique?

In Mozambique, liquid fuels and solar PV represent 4% and 1% of the existing installed capacity base. The country's biggest power plant, Cahora Bassa hydro plant, has an installed capacity of 2,075 MW.

What is Globeleq's first greenfield project in Mozambique?

The US$36 million Cuamba Solar plant is also Globeleq’s first greenfield project in Mozambique and the Group’s first combined solar and storage plant in its operating portfolio.

What is the optimal power system expansion plan for Mozambique?

The optimal power system expansion plan for Mozambique involves tripling its wind and solar capacity to reach almost 3 GW by 2032. This plan considers the current separation of the power system into two isolated transmission networks: the Central-Northern and Southern systems, with over 50% of the annual power demand in the Southern system.

What is the current power system of Mozambique?

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. The optimal power system expansion plan if wind and solar capacity are allowed to triple to reach almost 3 GW by 2032.

Why is technology modularity important in Mozambique?

Mozambique requires between 100 MW and 500 MW of new generation annually to meet the increasing demand. Modular technology allows for flexible and scalable power generation solutions, making it crucial for the country's power system expansion.
