Mozambique''s Photovoltaic Energy Storage Project: Powering
Summary: Mozambique has launched a groundbreaking photovoltaic energy storage project to address energy shortages and accelerate its renewable energy transition. This article explores
Globeleq sees battery storage as a key technology for Mozambique's future. Storage costs are expected to continue decreasing, so those systems will become more competitive and will be able to contribute more.
Our solar power plant in Cuamba was inaugurated in September of 2023. It marked another milestone for Globeleq and Mozambique, as it was the first IPP to integrate a utility-scale energy storage system.
First, to ensure that Mozambique has reliable and cost-effective power generation capable of meeting its 2030 electrification goals. Second, to establish Mozambique as a regional power supplier of choice. South Africa has a critical shortage of electricity, and Zambia and Zimbabwe also require power.
One of the big challenges of Mozambique is its size and shape, which make the transportation of electrons across the country quite expensive. Exporting electricity would bring foreign currency that can support investments in domestic transmission and distribution infrastructure.
