Mozambique home solar power generation system

4 FAQs about Mozambique home solar power generation system

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.

Who built Mozambique's first large-scale solar power plant?

Capital and expertise from Scatec Solar, KLP and Norfund enabled the construction of Mozambique's first large-scale solar power plant. Central Solar de Mocuba (CESOM) provides over 79 GWh of electricity annually, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of more than 170,000 households in Mozambique.

What is central solar de Mocuba?

Central Solar de Mocuba has increased Mozambique's energy generation capacity by 40 MW and will produce approximately 79 GWh per year. The project's strategic location will reduce energy transmission losses and improve the security of energy supply in northern Mozambique and stabilize the grid.

How will Mozambique's power plant's strategic location affect the grid?

The project's strategic location will reduce energy transmission losses and improve the security of energy supply in northern Mozambique and stabilize the grid. It is estimated that the power plant's connection to the EDM grid will result in a seven percent improvement in the network default level.
