Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwe owes Mozambique US$10 million for electricity it has already consumed, it emerged at the end of a visit by Zimbabwe\u2019s President Emmerson Mnangagwa to the gas-fired power station in Beluluane Park, Maputo province, on Tuesday (05-04).<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe has a deficit in electricity supply, and President Mnangagwa is in Mozambique to seek solutions to this scenario. It is in this context that he visited the Maputo Gas-Fired Combined Cycle Power Plant on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Accompanied by the CEO of state-owned national power utility Electricidade de Mo\u00e7ambique (EDM), the Zimbabwean president received explanations on how the enterprise works.<\/p>\n

At the end of the visit, EDM chairman Marcelino Alberto expressed his institution\u2019s willingness to increase the amount of energy it exports to the neighbouring country.<\/p>\n

\u201cZimbabwe is, in fact, facing an energy crisis and we, as neighbours and partners, have an obligation to support it. We have therefore been holding talks with our sister country to seek other ways to help. Naturally, the power of the Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric (HCB) is limited; it supplies South Africa, EDM and Zimbabwe, but even so, it is not enough. It is in this sense that we are looking into other energy sources, such as gas,\u201d Alberto said.<\/p>\n

Alberto highlighted that cooperation between the two countries in the energy sector was of many years\u2019 standing, and Zimbabwe was not a partner to be simply discounted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been partners for a long time,\u201d he said. \u201cIn 1997, we built the Mozambique-Zimbabwe interconnection, through which we are exporting to them a total of 50 megawatts of power. In fact, the contract was renewed two weeks ago, and we expect the Maputo gas-fired power station to provide part of its capacity to our neighbour.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, despite having paid a good part of its debt in 2021, neighbouring Zimbabwe is still indebted to Mozambique.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, Zimbabwe made a titanic effort to pay down its debt to Mozambique, which stood at US$45 million, and a good part of that amount \u2013 US$35 million \u2013 was paid last year. At the moment, the amount outstanding stands at US$10 million,\u201d the EDM chairman explained.<\/p>\n

The Beluluane power plant was inaugurated by Filipe Nyusi in 2018, and represents an investment of US$180 million, of which US$13 million was made available from the state budget and US$167 million came from Japan, via the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and will be repaid in 40 years.<\/p>\n
