Mozambique s Energy Storage Boom Powering a Sustainable
Mozambique is rapidly emerging as a leader in renewable energy integration, with energy storage power stations playing a pivotal role. Discover how this African nation is tackling energy
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.
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.
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.
It also plans for 900 MW of baseload gas projects to be built from 2022 to 2032, including the 450 MW Temane gas power plant expected for delivery in 2024. 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.
