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?

How much power does Mozambique have?

The country’s biggest power plant, Cahora Bassa hydro plant, has an installed capacity of 2,075 MW. Currently, over 75% of the electricity generated from the hydropower plant is exported to South Africa. The remaining capacity, around 1,300 MW, is utilised to meet local electricity demand in Mozambique.

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 much gas will Mozambique need in 2024?

In addition to the planned generation capacity that is likely to be commissioned by 2024, the modelling results indicate that Mozambique will need 1.5 GW of new base load gas projects and 230 MW of new flexible gas projects from 2025 to 2032.

Can Mozambique develop a power system from 2022 to 2032?

The study covers two possible scenarios, low renewable and high renewable scenarios, that would enable the country to meet the growing electricity demand and compares them to identify the best pathway to develop Mozambique’s power system from 2022 to 2032.

Can Mozambique increase gas-to-power generation?

Going forward, the development of new gas resources by the Mozambican government presents tremendous opportunities to rapidly increase gas-to-power generation in the country. Domestic gas from the Northern coast of Mozambique is expected to be available by 2026.
