Mozambique Power Update: Government backs dams, AfDb supports renewable:

For a country with so much energy potential, Mozambique’s power sector is relatively underdeveloped. Big dam projects remain at the planning stage, and the grid is yet to connect urban areas in the south to generation in the centre.
While Mozambique’s energy policy is focused on developing its vast reserves of offshore natural gas and its large-scale hydro potential, small-scale renewables have received little attention despite their potential in large areas away from the grid. This four page-report provides an overview of Mozambique's power sector, including planned renewables projects. The report contains a full-page map detailing Mozambique's electricity infrastructure.
