4 FAQs about Mozambique Communication solar Base Station Construction Project Department

Who built Mozambique's first large-scale solar power plant?

Capital and expertise from Scatec Solar, KLP and Norfund enabled the construction of Mozambique's first large-scale solar power plant. Central Solar de Mocuba (CESOM) provides over 79 GWh of electricity annually, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of more than 170,000 households in Mozambique.

How will Mozambique's power plant's strategic location affect the grid?

The project's strategic location will reduce energy transmission losses and improve the security of energy supply in northern Mozambique and stabilize the grid. It is estimated that the power plant's connection to the EDM grid will result in a seven percent improvement in the network default level.

Which zone has the highest solar power potential in Mozambique?

The zones marked in the darkest shade show the highest potential . By the end of 2022, there is a total of 125 MW of solar power plants (under a public-private partnership (PPP)) developed in Mozambique, of which 60 MW are already connected to the national grid: Projects Mocuba and Metoro.

Why is Mozambique acquiring 25-30 MW of solar PV?

The procurement of 25-30 MW of solar PV is the first stage of implementation of the program which will contribute to the diversification of Mozambique's power mix and improve power supply quality, whilst ensuring low-cost energy for Mozambican end users

Metoro Solar Power Station

The power station provides 68 GWh of energy annually, enough to supply 75 percent of the electricity needs of the city of Pemba, as of 2020. The project will provided 380 jobs during

Metoro Solar Power Station

The power station has a maximum generation capacity of 41 megawatts. It comprises 121,500 solar panels. Its output is sold directly to the Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM), for integration into the national grid, under a 25-year power purchase agreement. A new high voltage power transmission line delivers the power to an EDM substation, where the power enters the national grid.
