Mozambique''s Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy has kicked off a tender for the development of decentralized solar and battery storage systems in the provinces of Nampula,
The project is part of Mozambique''s plan to deploy 200MW of renewable energy over a five-year period, and is the third large-scale solar plant in Mozambique. Filipe Nyusi, president of Mozambique, said at an
Also just before the end of April, consulting firm POWER Engineers, Incorporated, said it had been chosen to work alongside financial advisory firm Delphos International on a feasibility study for a USTDA
Several African countries have shown recent interest in addressing the lack of storage capacity by joining the BESS Consortium at COP28, led by the Global Energy Alliance
focused on Lusophone Africa, and Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM), the Mozambican national power utility, confirms that it has now received formal notification from
The US$32 million project is located in the Tetereane District of the city of Cuamba, Niassa province, about 550 kms west of the coastal town Nacala. The project is the first IPP in Mozambique to integrate a utility scale energy
Electrochemical energy storage (EcES), which includes all types of energy storage in batteries, is the most widespread energy storage system due to its ability to adapt to
Mozambique''s energy strategy "Ncondezi''s early entry into this sector in 2019 enabled it to take advantage of what is probably the largest off-grid solar and battery storage
If these retired batteries are put into second use, the accumulative new battery demand of battery energy storage systems can be reduced from 2.1 to 5.1 TWh to 0–1.4 TWh
The US$32 million project is located in the Tetereane District of the city of Cuamba, Niassa province, about 550 kms west of the coastal town Nacala. 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.
The solar-plus-storage project proposal comes a year after construction started on Mozambique’s first. Image: Diego Delso, CC BY-SA 4.0. Power project developer Ncondezi Energy has launched a feasibility study for a 300MW solar PV plant with battery storage, in Mozambique, Africa.
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.
“The Cuamba solar and storage plant will provide greater energy security and stability in this region of Mozambique and marks a turning point for the Cuamba district. Globeleq, Source Energia and EDM have all invested in this project – a public-private partnership that demonstrates the confidence of international investors in Mozambique.
Marcelino Gil, EDM Chairman explained EDM’s commitment to the country energy mix based on the abundance of resources in Mozambique, with the visibility to promote clean and renewable energy toward the commitment of universal access to energy to all Mozambicans by 2030.
BII Plus, the technical assistance facility of British International Investment, contributed a US$1million grant towards the battery energy storage system. His Excellency Filipe Nyusi, President of the Republic of Mozambique said at the inauguration:
We are deeply committed to excellence in all our endeavors.
Since we maintain control over our products, our customers can be assured of nothing but the best quality at all times.
