Mozambique energy storage product costs

How much energy will be produced in Mozambique?

As of now, it is expected that between 40% to 60% of the energy produced will be destined for Mozambique, contributing significantly to the energy availability and competitiveness, to accelerate the country’s economic development and to laying foundations for the national industrialization process.

How much electricity does Mozambique have in 2021?

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.

How will Mozambique benefit from a more distributed power system?

With this strategy, Mozambique will also avoid locking the systems in for decades to come with large baseload plants, and benefit from a more distributed power system.

How can Mozambique achieve its electrification goal?

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. To identify the optimal power system for Mozambique, a few key questions must be considered. Should Mozambique cap new renewable energy capacity to 100 MW/year?

What is Mozambique's electricity transmission system?

In terms of electricity transmission, EDM operates most of the country’s transmission infrastructure. According to the Final Energy report for Mozambique, Mozambique’s national electricity transmission network is subdivided into three parts.

Can Mozambique become an energy hub?

The government of Mozambique has established two fundamental goals in the electricity sector, to provide access to energy for the entire population by 2030 and to become an energy hub in the SSA region. To achieve those targets, it is crucial to update the least cost both on and off-grid electrification.
