Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s president, Filipe Nyusi, this F Friday inaugurated a solar power plant, the largest of its kind in the country, at Metoro, in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, his office announced in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Metoro Solar Plant Project is part of the Government\u2019s plan to increase production capacity and diversify energy sources in the country, in general, and in the northern region, in particular, with the aim of ensuring quality energy in Cabo Delgado province,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

Work began in 2020 on building the plant, which consists of 125,000 panels manufactured in China. It has a capacity of 41 megawatts and is to inject 69 gigawatt hours per year into the grid managed by state electricity company Electricidade de Mo\u00e7ambique (EDM).<\/p>\n

The project has a budget equivalent to \u20ac47.3 million and is the result of a partnership between EDM, with a 25% stake, and France\u2019s Neon, with 75%.<\/p>\n

The project was financed by the French Development Agency (AFD), with a loan of $40 million (\u20ac34 million), with the remainder coming from Mozambique\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

After 25 years of operation, the infrastructure is to pass into the hands of EDM.<\/p>\n
