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).
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.
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.
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.
