Mozambique has the largest power generation potential in the entire Southern African region thanks to its vast and largely untapped gas, hydro, wind and solar resources.
Mozambique has the largest power generation potential in the entire Southern African region thanks to its vast and largely untapped gas, hydro, wind and solar resources.
Mozambique is making remarkable strides in producing sustainable electricity, with more than 83% of its electricity sourced from low-carbon means, primarily hydropower accounting for 82%.
Hydropower has traditionally been the largest contributor to Mozambique''s power production. The country has one of the largest potentials in Africa, largely thanks to the mighty
OverviewLeading Sub-SectorsOpportunitiesTransmissionGenerationDistributionMozambique has the largest power generation potential of all Southern African countries. Power Africa estimatesthat it could generate 187 gigawatts of power from coal, hydro, gas, wind, and solar. Most of the power currently generated is from hydroelectric projects, however, natural gas, and renewable energy sources will have a significant impact i...See more on trade.govIRENA – International Renewable Energy Agency[PDF]

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.
The country has one of the largest potentials in Africa, largely thanks to the mighty Zambezi River, which boasts a projected production capacity of 20 GW. More than half of this potential is in Mozambique. Existing power plants such as Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB) contribute significantly to the country’s energy production.
Including hydropower, renewables currently make up 70% of all energy produced in Mozambique. Hydropower has traditionally been the largest contributor to Mozambique’s power production. The country has one of the largest potentials in Africa, largely thanks to the mighty Zambezi River, which boasts a projected production capacity of 20 GW.
Despite this huge generation potential only 38.6%1) of its population had access to electricity in 2021. The total installed power capacity in Mozambique stood at around 2,800 MW in the year 2021 whereas the peak demand reported by the state-owned energy utility Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) was at 1,035 MW.
