Mozambique’s $6 Billion Hydro-Electic Ambition: A Blueprint for Energy Resilience

Mozambique is advancing the 1,500 MW Mphanda Nkuwa Hydroelectric Project, positioning itself as a regional clean-energy hub. With funding commitments from the African Development Bank and EU, the project aims to supply power domestically and to Southern Africa through the South African Power Pool (SAPP) grid. Its success could cut national reliance on thermal imports and displace millions of tonnes of CO₂ annually.
