Total installed capacity stands at 2.8 GW and is estimated to reach 6 GW over the next 20 years. The largest power generation plant in the country is the Cahora Bassa hydro dam, operated by the
As of 2020, Mozambique's total installed electricity generation capacity was 2,780 MW, with projections to expand to 6,001 MW by 2030 to meet growing demand and achieve universal electrification (Mozambique Energy Situation). The capacity breakdown by energy source in 2020 was:
Despite this vast potential, current energy production is more modest, with a focus on hydropower, natural gas, and emerging renewables. The energy sector is a cornerstone of Mozambique's economy, driving industrial growth and generating significant foreign exchange through exports, particularly electricity to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.
Mozambique is a net exporter of energy to countries in the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) – South Africa being the largest importer. The government view energy exports as a key driver of the Mozambican economy, having passed a new electricity law that simplifies permitting and encourages IPPs activities.
Mozambique needs to invest US$ 6.5 billion4in power generation, through a mix of renewable and gas projects, and in upgrading its stressed and fragmented electricity grid particularly as it aspires to become a regional energy hub.
