Mozambique Energy Storage Power Generation
Overview 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 (SAPP), with an
Mozambique's domestic energy demand is increasing steadily and is expected to continue rising as the country industrializes. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) member countries are expected to have higher demand for power that could be met with Mozambican exports.
Mozambique is a net exporter of energy to countries in the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) – South Africa being the largest importer. The government view energy exports as a key driver of the Mozambican economy, having passed a new electricity law that simplifies permitting and encourages IPPs activities.
The first Independent Power Projects (IPPs) in Mozambique came online in 2015. These projects have paved the way for future IPP negotiations and, more recently, the standardization of tendering documents. Given EDM's weak financial capabilities, future IPPs will continue to rely on development banks for financing.
EDM and Mozambique support the development of renewable energy projects, having launched public tenders for solar and wind projects, the country is also exploring battery storage solutions. The largest power generation plant in the country is the Cahora Bassa hydro dam, operated by the government owned Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB).
