Mozambique s first wind solar and energy storage power generation project
LONDON / MAPUTO, 1 November 2023: Globeleq, the leading independent power company in Africa and its project partners, Source Energia, an energy developer focused on Lusophone Africa, and Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM), the Mozambican national power utility, confirms that it has now received formal notification from EDM (the off-taker) that commercial operations at the 19 MWp Cuamba Solar PV and 7 MWh energy storage plant began on 12 September 2023.
FAQs about Mozambique s first wind solar and energy storage power generation project
When did Globeleq & Mozambique launch a solar power plant?
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.
How will electricity be sold in Mozambique?
Electricity will be sold through a 25-year power purchase agreement with EDM. The $32 million project will contribute to the Mozambique government's 'Energy for All' strategy, aiming to have universal energy access by 2030. Have you read?
Who is the project EPC contractor for Mozambique?
Spanish company TSK has been appointed as project EPC contractor. Globeleq will oversee the construction of the eventual operation of the power plant, supported by Source Energia. Globeleq, Source Energia and EDM start construction on the first IPP in Mozambique to integrate utility-scale energy storage and solar.
What is Mozambique's 'energy for all' project?
The $32 million project will contribute to the Mozambique government's 'Energy for All' strategy, aiming to have universal energy access by 2030. Have you read? The project is expected to receive $19m of debt funding from the Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund, which is a member of the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG).
What is Globeleq's first greenfield project in Mozambique?
The US$36 million Cuamba Solar plant is also Globeleq's first greenfield project in Mozambique and the Group's first combined solar and storage plant in its operating portfolio.
Is battery storage a key technology for Mozambique's future?
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.

Wind solar and storage prices lowered
The global cost of clean power technologies will continue its fall into 2025, with wind, solar and battery technologies expected to experience additional drops of between 2% and 11%, BloombergNEF (BNEF) said on Thursday.
FAQs about Wind solar and storage prices lowered
How much will clean power technology cost in 2025?
Clean power technology costs for wind, solar and battery technologies are expected to fall further by 2-11% in 2025, breaking last year's record, according to a report by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Why are China's energy costs so low?
China's dominance in clean-tech manufacturing has been a key driver behind these cost reductions, with the country able to produce electricity from major power-generating technologies 11-64 percent cheaper than other markets.
Why did battery storage cost a third in 2024?
According to BloombergNEF's (BNEF) latest Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) Report, the global benchmark cost for battery storage projects dropped by a third in 2024 to USD 104 per megawatt-hour (MWh), largely due to an oversupply of battery packs caused by slowing electric vehicle sales.
How much does wind power cost in China?
Onshore wind power in China, for example, costs 24 percent less than the global benchmark of USD 38/MWh, thanks to lower turbine prices. However, wind turbine costs outside China have remained high since 2020, as manufacturers maintain pricing strategies to improve margins.
Will China's overcapacity stall electricity cost declines by 2035?
China's overcapacity has led countries to consider trade barriers, which could temporarily stall cost declines, but BNEF still expects that by 2035 the global benchmark levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) will fall 26% for onshore wind, 22% for offshore wind, 31% for fixed-axis PV, and almost 50% for battery storage by 2035.
How much does onshore wind cost in 2024?
For example, IRENA found that while onshore wind generation costs were similar in Europe and Africa with around USD 0.052/kWh in 2024, the cost structures varied significantly. European projects were capital-expenditure driven, while African projects bore a much higher share of financing costs.
