- Mozambican authority inaugurates a solar PV power station.
- The project is part of the government’s “Energy for All”, aiming to ensure universal access to electricity by 2030.
Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi has inaugurated a solar PV power station in the Ngapa administrative post, Mueda district, in the northern province of Cabo Delgado. The power station was financed by the National Energy Fund (FUNAE).
“With this inauguration, we want to show the strategic importance of renewable sources of energy in the sustainable development of the country”, Nyusi stated. He stressed that the government is gradually taking electricity to all parts of the country and eliminating all the old, diesel-fired generating systems, in line with the international agenda to protect the environment and mitigate climate change.
The electrification of the administrative posts is part of the government’s “Energy for All”, which aims to ensure universal access to electricity by 2030. Last month, Nyusi reiterated his conviction that the government will meet its target of bringing electricity to 10 million Mozambicans by 2024. That would increase national electricity coverage to 64 per cent of the population, compared with 44 per cent in late 2021.
