Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique Electricity (EDM) is preparing a feasibility study on expanding the country\u2019s electricity grid to neighbouring Tanzania, a company source announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur intention is to make the regional connection with Tanzania, which will also be associated with other sources of production [in addition to the national grid],\u201d Daniel Guambe, director of Electrification and Projects at EDM, told reporters attending the inauguration of an electricity distribution network in the district of Namuno, Cabo Delgado province, northern Mozambique.<\/p>\n
