6 FAQs about [500kw solar power plant Mozambique]
What are Globeleq & source Energia doing in Mozambique?
Globeleq and Source Energia are also developing one of the first wind projects in Mozambique located near the town of Namaacha 40km west of Maputo. In addition, Globeleq has recently pre-qualified to compete for the 40 MWp Dondo solar power project in Sofala Province and has been selected for two 15MWp solar projects in neighbouring Eswatini.
How will Mozambique's new energy storage system work?
The project is the first IPP in Mozambique to integrate a utility scale energy storage system and includes an upgrade to the existing Cuamba substation. Electricity will be sold through a 25-year power purchase agreement with EDM.
What is Globeleq's first greenfield project in Mozambique?
The US$36 million Cuamba Solar plant is also Globeleq’s first greenfield project in Mozambique and the Group’s first combined solar and storage plant in its operating portfolio.
Who built Mozambique's first large-scale solar power plant?
Capital and expertise from Scatec Solar, KLP and Norfund enabled the construction of Mozambique’s first large-scale solar power plant. Central Solar de Mocuba (CESOM) provides over 79 GWh of electricity annually, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of more than 170,000 households in Mozambique.
Where is Mozambique's power plant located?
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.
Is Mozambique a good place to get power?
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.
