Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi on Friday inaugurated the Matchedje solar power station, in the northern province of Niassa, which can supply power to around 400 households.<\/p>\n

Matchedje holds an honourable place in Mozambican history since it was here that the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) held its second congress, in 1968, during the independence war.<\/p>\n

At the ceremony, Nyusi said that the solar power station has the capacity of 200 kilowatt peak, and is part of the government\u2019s plans to ensure that electricity reaches ten million more consumers by 2024.<\/p>\n

He stressed that electricity is an important catalyst for the country\u2019s social and economic development. \u201cElectrical power contributes to the flourishing of industry, to increased production and to improved living conditions\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

He added that, through the \u201cEnergy for All\u201d project, the government will step up its interventions to boost access to electricity in the rural areas, focusing particularly on renewable sources of power.<\/p>\n

He said that currently about 39 per cent of the Mozambican population has access to electricity in their homes \u2013 35 per cent from the national grid, and four per cent from isolated systems, usually based on solar panels, outside the grid.<\/p>\n

For his part, the Secretary of State for Niassa, Diniz Vilanculos, said that the establishment of the solar power station will drive the creation of small industries and self employment, and will encourage tourism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
