Mozambique energy storage power supply processing

What energy sources are available in Mozambique?

Mozambique has abundant energy sources available for exploitation. As of 2021, the country was ranked first in energy potential of all the countries in the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), with an estimated energy capacity of 187,000 MW. Available energy sources include coal, hydroelectricity, natural gas, solar energy and wind power.

What is the optimal power system expansion plan for Mozambique?

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.

How can Mozambique unlock its energy potential?

By effectively addressing barriers to energy access and reliability, harnessing the potential of renewable energy sources and leveraging its lithium and graphite resources, Mozambique can unlock its full energy potential and spearhead sustainable development and prosperity for its economic agents.

How can Mozambique achieve its electrification goal?

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.
