Wärtsilä Mozambique white paper 2022
In this study, Wärtsilä presents and compares two potential power system expansion scenarios for Mozambique. Scenarios have been modelled through the PLEXOS software, a world-leading
Globeleq sees battery storage as a key technology for Mozambique's future. Storage costs are expected to continue decreasing, so those systems will become more competitive and will be able to contribute more.
The optimal power system expansion plan if wind and solar capacity are allowed to triple to reach almost 3 GW by 2032. Currently, the power system of Mozambique is separated into two transmission networks isolated from one another: the Central-Northern and Southern systems. Over 50% of the annual power demand is seen in the Southern system.
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.
Since Mozambique has high hydro power potential, the country is focusing on developing large hydro projects that aim to be operational at the beginning of 2030's. Hydropower projects play an important role in decarbonizing the power sector in Mozambique.
