Who is building a solar power plant in Mozambique?
The Spanish group TSK has won the contract to build the Cuamba solar power plant in the Niassa province of Mozambique.
When did Globeleq & Mozambique launch a solar power plant?
Our solar power plant in Cuamba was inaugurated in September of 2023. It marked another milestone for Globeleq and Mozambique, as it was the first IPP to integrate a utility-scale energy storage system.
Is battery storage a key technology for Mozambique's future?
Globeleq sees battery storage as a key technology for Mozambique's future. Storage costs are expected to continue decreasing, so those systems will become more competitive and will be able to contribute more.
Should Mozambique export electricity?
One of the big challenges of Mozambique is its size and shape, which make the transportation of electrons across the country quite expensive. Exporting electricity would bring foreign currency that can support investments in domestic transmission and distribution infrastructure.
