Energy: Exploring New Horizons
The country must make a transition to a sustainable energy future and to achieve this, the country needs to expand the energy supply matrix, focusing on indigenous energy sources, thus increasing access to modern forms of energy by the population. Thus, some of the invest¬ment opportunities that are foreseen for the energy sector are presented below:
Electricity Production
a) The Development of Northern bank of Cahora Bassa (1.245MW);
b) Moatize Thermal Power , Phase I (600MW);
c) Benga Power Station, Phase I (500MW);
d) Moamba Gas Power Plant(600MW);
Energy Transmission and Regional Interconnection
a) Promote the construction of the Infulene – Manhiça - Macia line (110kV) ;
b) continue with actions aimed at building the Mozambique-Malawi Interconnection ( 220kV);
c) to undertake actions aimed at the construction of the Centre-North Energy Transmission System back up line;
