Mozambique: The making of an African clean energy powerhouse
Hydropower has traditionally been the largest contributor to Mozambique''s power production. The country has one of the largest potentials in Africa, largely thanks to the mighty
The country has one of the largest potentials in Africa, largely thanks to the mighty Zambezi River, which boasts a projected production capacity of 20 GW. More than half of this potential is in Mozambique. Existing power plants such as Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB) contribute significantly to the country's energy production.
Revised in July 2024, this map provides a detailed view of the power sector in Mozambique. The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type – including liquid fuels, natural gas, coal, hydroelectricity, solar, wind and biomass/biogas.
Expected to go online in May, the Temane power station will provide low-cost power to 1.5 million households in Southern Africa. Mozambique is set to open its largest gas-fired power plant later this year, boosting domestic electricity generation by 16 percent and fuelling economic growth in the Southern African nation.
Mozambique is set to open its largest gas-fired power plant later this year, boosting domestic electricity generation by 16 percent and fuelling economic growth in the Southern African nation. The 450 MW Temane Thermal Power Station (CTT) will draw on the plentiful offshore natural gas resources of Inhambane province, where it is located.
