6 FAQs about [Mozambique big sun energy]

Can Mozambique take full advantage of its solar potential?

In a new monthly column for <b>pv magazine</b>, SolarPower Europe describes how Mozambique may take full advantage of its huge solar potential by implementing its recently launched Renewable Energy Auctions Programme for large-scale projects, while also pushing for more off-grid renewables in remote areas.

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.

Will Mozambique achieve universal energy access by 2030?

By 2030, the Government of Mozambique hope to transform this landscape, and achieve universal energy access by the end of the decade. This would require capacity to more than double to almost 6,500 MW. Solar is undeniably the most intuitive renewable technology when it comes to off-grid energy solutions.

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.

Does Mozambican have a solar vision?
