Mozambique is rising as a key participant within the international power panorama, with a wealthy reserve of pure sources, together with pure gasoline and renewables. Because the world shifts in the direction of cleaner and extra sustainable power, Mozambique is positioning itself on the centre of this transformation, making certain its power tasks are each prepared and totally applied to satisfy the rising calls for of home, regional and the worldwide market.
At COP28 in Dubai, H.E. President Filipe Nyusi mentioned, “Mozambique’s $80 billion power transition technique will leverage the nation’s huge renewable sources to place the nation as a sustainable funding vacation spot and ship power to its individuals.”
President Nyusi went on to share that whereas transitioning to a decarbonised future, Mozambique should proceed to develop and meet the wants of the half of its inhabitants that doesn’t have entry to electrical energy. Due to this fact, the technique’s mission is to leverage Mozambique’s plentiful renewable and pure sources to speed up the trajectory of low-carbon socio-economic growth.
Hon. Carlos Zacarias, Minister of Mineral Assets and Power of Mozambique, offered how the technique could be leveraged by harnessing its gasoline reserves while implementing a number of hydro, wind and photo voltaic tasks. A few of these are already underway, such because the Mphanda Nkuwa Dam, which has attracted worldwide curiosity and can ship on a various power combine.
Decarbonisation and fostering power entry for all by an inclusive and sustainable power combine can be on the centre of Mozambique’s authorities technique. Mozambique’s power transition is predicated on 4 strategic pillars together with: 1. Increasing clear power enlargement capability by wind, hydroelectric tasks and solar energy crops to offset fossil fuels predominance; 2. Capitalising on inexperienced industrialisation by built-in tasks round industrial corridors such because the Nacala hall; 3. Accelerating common entry to power by 2030 by clear cooking options and photo voltaic mini-grids; 4. selling inexperienced mobility, introducing electrical autos, in addition to growing using gas-powered autos and selling biofuels.
This readiness isn’t solely geared toward harnessing Mozambique’s huge pure sources but additionally focuses on making certain that tasks are aligned with worldwide requirements and greatest practices. By fostering collaboration between native and worldwide stakeholders, Mozambique is securing investments that may drive its power sector ahead, create job alternatives, and contribute to sustainable growth.
In August, Eni, because the Delegated Operator of Space 4, on behalf of its Space 4 companions, specifically ExxonMobil, CNPC, GALP, KOGAS and ENH, celebrated the achievement of 5 million tons of LNG produced from the Coral Sul FLNG, situated within the ultra-deep waters of the Rovuma Basin, offshore Mozambique. This can be a vital milestone for the mission, and it represents not solely a serious technical and operational accomplishment but additionally stands as a testomony to the dedication, dedication, and collaboration of all of the workforce and stakeholders.

Eni and ENH have since gone on to signal a contract for a brand new offshore block within the Angoche basin.
On this new age of industrialisation, Mozambique’s power potential locations the nation on the forefront of world power investments. Because it continues to develop its infrastructure and experience in power manufacturing, Mozambique is ready to play a pivotal position in assembly future power calls for. With vital tasks within the pipeline, the nation’s readiness and dedication to power growth make it a key participant within the international power transition.
In early September ExxonMobil gave the go-ahead to 2 consortia to launch a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contest on its big Rovuma LNG mission in Mozambique. On the finish of which one consortium shall be awarded a prestigious contract to construct the 18 million tonnes every year plant.
The deepwater Mamba discipline in Space 4 will ship gasoline to the onshore Rovuma LNG website at Afungi in Cabo Delgado. Cabo Delgado performs a vital position in supplying uncooked supplies and advancing sources for the power transition.
In help of delivering on Mozambique’s sustainable power future, dmg occasions and its companions ENH (Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos) are delighted to announce that the ninth version of the Mozambique Fuel & Power Summit & Exhibition shall be happening from 19 – 21 November 2024 on the Joaquim Chissano Worldwide Convention Centre in Maputo.
Because the official convening platform for the worldwide gasoline, LNG and power trade in Mozambique, the Mozambique Fuel & Power Summit & Exhibition will collect key Mozambican authorities, ministerial and trade stakeholders together with IECs, NOCs, EPCs, traders, builders and personal sector worth chain members to have interaction in offtake negotiations, mission growth tenders, multilateral partnerships, expertise showcasing and data and greatest observe alternate.
The Summit additionally promotes and empowers the event of native content material to function a platform to evolve the Mozambican power panorama to make sure long-term future success for the nation and its residents throughout the international power group.
