Center-northern Mozambique suffers from low electricity access due to its isolation from main generation center in the South, significant transmission losses and an overreliance on power supply from the Cahora-Bassa hydropower plant.
This summary covers an application by Globeleq Africa Limited (GAL) for its equity and quasi-equity investments in CESOM - Central Solar de Mocuba, S.A. (CESOM) in Mozambique (the Project). GAL is seeking cover for up to USD 11.02 million for CESOM against the risks of transfer restriction and breach of contract for a guarantee period of up to
Central Solar de Mocuba has increased Mozambique''s energy generation capacity by 40 MW and will produce approximately 79 GWh per year. The project''s strategic location will reduce energy transmission losses and improve the security of energy supply in northern Mozambique and stabilize the grid.
Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric Plant (HCB) and the International Financial Society (IFC – World Bank Group) will install a large-scale photovoltaic plant with a capacity of up to 400 MW in the province of Tete, Mozambique.
Samir Salé, country and business development director of Globeleq, talks to The Energy Year about fast-tracking renewables projects in Mozambique and the potential of solar generation and battery storage in the country''s energy mix. Globeleq develops, operates and builds utility-scale power plants in Mozambique and across Africa.
The Cahora-Bassa Hydroelectric Plant produced 82.2% of all electricity in Mozambique up to March. Mozambique plans to implement solar power plants in at least five parts of the country by 2030, estimating that it will introduce a capacity of 1,000 MW of electricity production into the grid, promising a "true solar revolution".
The state-owned company Eletricidade de Moçambique plans to invest $110.6 million (€102 million) with private companies to install a 60 MW solar power plant next to the Corumana dam in Maputo province.

The plant is the first IPP in Mozambique to integrate a utility-scale energy storage system and includes an upgrade to the existing Cuamba substation. The Cuamba Solar plant supplies enough power for 21,800 consumers over the project''s life and is expected to avoid the equivalent of more than 172,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions

The plant was built in the Zambezia Province in north-central Mozambique. Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world and access to electricity is extremely limited. In rural areas only 6 percent of the population has an electricity supply. National demand for electricity is growing significantly due to industrial and commercial growth.
Many district capitals depend on expensive and often unreliable diesel power generation, but Mozambique’s potential power generating capacity is substantial. Transmission bottlenecks mean that decentralised power plants based on local energy resources such as solar, hydro can be important in supplying remote regions.

This is an excellent example of how private-public partnerships can deliver renewable energy and support further economic growth in Mozambique.
