6 FAQs about [Grid infrastructure companies Mozambique]

How will Mozambique's New electricity grid impact industrial growth?

Industrial Growth: by increasing the reliability of the grid, the project will also enable industrial growth. The northern areas of Mozambique, in particular the Nampula-Nacala area, have experienced significant industrial electricity demand.

Why does Mozambique want Gridworks to invest in the chimuara-Nacala project?

With only half of the population having access to electricity, the Chimuara-Nacala project is a priority for Mozambique, and Gridworks’ involvement reflects the Government’s desire to attract private sector financing for the development of its key infrastructure.

What is Gridworks doing in Mozambique?

Alongside Amari, and a previously announced initiative in Tanzania, Gridworks is working on a pipeline of IPT projects across the continent. Today’s announcement is the latest one and supports the Government of Mozambique’s plans to improve power access and reliability.

Why is rural electrification a priority in Mozambique?

To mitigate the cost of expanding the grid to rural areas, the Government of Mozambique has made rural electrification development a priority led by the Mozambique Energy Fund Institute (FUNAE), which focuses on small, off-grid projects of less than 10MW. Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) is the sole electrical utility in the country.

Why should Mozambique invest in transmission infrastructure?

Chris Chijiutomi, Managing Director and Head of Africa at BII, said: “Investing in transmission infrastructure is as vital a component of delivering affordable energy as is providing additional renewable energy generation in the continent. This strategic project once completed will make a huge difference to so many people in Mozambique.”

When did independent power projects start in Mozambique?

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.
