Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Sweco has won an assignment to develop the preparedness of Mozambique\u2019s national energy system and to develop processes for disaster management. The aim is to protect the country\u2019s energy infrastructure and supply from increasingly frequent extreme weather events and rising sea levels. The client is the state-owned energy company Electricidade de Moc\u0327ambique (EDM).<\/p>\n

Mozambique\u2019s long coastline and low-lying areas, below the current sea level, are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. These effects include new temperature and rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, droughts, flooding and tropical cyclones.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s energy system, which comprises hydropower plants, gas turbine units, power transmission and distribution networks, and the national operating and monitoring system can all be impacted or knocked out by a cyclone, for example.<\/p>\n

Sweco\u2019s assignment encompasses an assessment of the current status and to develop preparedness and processes for disaster management, in line with national strategies for the country\u2019s energy supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cAround the world, increased resilience to climate change is a growing need and is particularly necessary within the energy sector and other crucial public functions. Preparedness needs to be raised ahead of time and the consequences managed when disaster strikes. This type of project is a perfect fit for what we do at Sweco,\u201d says Conny Udd, Division Manager for Energy & Industry at Sweco Sweden.<\/p>\n

Sweco has been working on projects in Mozambique for more than 30 years and is well versed in the country\u2019s energy system. This mission entails collaboration by Sweco\u2019s experts in energy, the environment and infrastructure with local and international partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach year, Mozambique\u2019s and EDM\u2019s energy infrastructure is affected by extreme weather events such as tropical cyclones. Having Sweco as an advising partner is strategic in securing a national energy infrastructure that is more resilient,\u201d says Marcelino Gildo Alberto, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EDM.<\/p>\n

The project length is 12 months and has an order value of about SEK 5 million. Sweco\u2019s assignment is part of an agreement between the governments of Sweden and Mozambique financed by Swedfund.<\/p>\n

\u201cClimate change is contributing to an increasingly challenging environment for energy systems in many countries and the collaboration between EDM, Sweco and Swedfund aims to increase energy security in Mozambique,\u201d says Karin Kronho\u0308ffer, Chief Strategy and Communications Officer at Swedfund.<\/p>\n

About Swedfund:<\/b><\/p>\n

Swedfund, a state-owned company, is Sweden\u2019s development finance institution and aims to contribute to poverty reduction by investing in sustainable infrastructure and energy projects in the world\u2019s poorest countries.<\/p>\n
