Mozambique’s Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy has launched a tender aimed at expanding decentralized solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems across several provinces. The projects aims to enhance energy access and reliability in Nampula, Zambezia, Sofala and Gaza, with applications for the tender closing in September 2024.
The country’s energy regulator the Autoridade Reguladora de Energia (ARENE) will manage the tender process, selecting two experienced independent power producers through an international competitive bidding process with prequalification.
This effort – part of the Global Energy Transition Feed-in-Tariff Mozambique Programme – , is funded by the German Government through German financial institution KfW Development Bank.
