6 FAQs about [Neste advanced power systems Mozambique]
What is the optimal power system expansion plan for Mozambique?
The optimal power system expansion plan if wind and solar capacity are allowed to triple to reach almost 3 GW by 2032. Currently, the power system of Mozambique is separated into two transmission networks isolated from one another: the Central-Northern and Southern systems. Over 50% of the annual power demand is seen in the Southern system.
How can Mozambique achieve its electrification goal?
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. To identify the optimal power system for Mozambique, a few key questions must be considered. Should Mozambique cap new renewable energy capacity to 100 MW/year?
What are the priority projects in the power sector in Mozambique?
The following table lists all the priority projects in the power sector in Mozambique that are in search of funding. These projects are gathered by type (Generation, Transmission, Distribution) and by nature (Capital investment, Studies and Technical assistance).
Why is Mozambique focusing on hydropower projects?
Since Mozambique has high hydro power potential, the country is focusing on developing large hydro projects that aim to be operational at the beginning of 2030’s. Hydropower projects play an important role in decarbonizing the power sector in Mozambique.
Can Mozambique develop a power system from 2022 to 2032?
The study covers two possible scenarios, low renewable and high renewable scenarios, that would enable the country to meet the growing electricity demand and compares them to identify the best pathway to develop Mozambique’s power system from 2022 to 2032.
