Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Solar power was the fastest growing source of electricity in Mozambique between 2017 and 2021, the National Statistics Institute (INE) announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

Annual production grew from 1.5 to 69 gigawatts over the four years, according to the Energy, Gas and Oil Basic Indicators bulletin.<\/p>\n

Even so, the energy obtained via solar panels represents less than 1% of the electricity produced in the country. The Cahora Bassa dam is responsible for 83% of the country\u2019s electricity supply.<\/p>\n

The Metoro solar plant, the largest in the country, was inaugurated in April of this year. It has 125,000 solar panels of Chinese manufacture, a capacity of 41 megawatts, and is capable of supplying up to 69 gigawatts\/hour per year into the Electricity of Mozambique (EDM) grid.<\/p>\n

Another solar power plant, with a capacity of 30 megawatts, is to be built near the city of Beira in Dondo district, Sofala province.<\/p>\n

According to the INE (citing data from EDM), the overall rate of access to electricity has been rising every year and, by 2021, electricity was reaching 38.6% of the Mozambican population.<\/p>\n

In the same year, the public company EDM billed 3.5 million megawatt-hours across the country, almost half of it in the province and city of Maputo.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican government has set a goal of achieving universal access to electricity by 2030.<\/p>\n
