Highlights
- The objective of the government is to reach an electrification rate of 100% by 2030, up from 33% now, and to double the hydropower capacity by 2025.
- EDM is responsible for electricity generation, transmission, and distribution.
- Eni, ExxonMobil, and Anadarko are the concessionaires of the major offshore gas blocks.
- Mozambique has a very large potential of hydro, coal, and gas resources.
- Hydro represents 86% of the electricity production.
- Gasoline and diesel prices are in line with regional averages.
- Biomass supplies 65% of the country's supply.
- EDM's Integrated Master Plan expects to add over 10 GW (US$19bn) to the grid by 2043.
- The country is developing an LNG export capacity with three major projects adding up to 30 Mt/year by 2025.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The energy sector is under the responsibility of MIREME, Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, which is responsible for the overall policy and institutional and regulatory framework, as well as setting energy targets and strategies.
The management of forests is the responsibility of the National Directorate of Land and Forestry of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Safety.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
EDM, Electricidade de Moçambique, is the vertically integrated national power utility (100% State owned).
Energy Supply
Gas:
Mozambique is one of the two East African countries (with Tanzania) that produce natural gas. Production became significant in 2004 and increased rapidly to around 4.7 bcm in 2018 (+5.5% since 2010). In 2019, production dropped by 10% to 4.2 bcm. Most of the gas produced is exported (over 80%) to South Africa via the Temane-Secunda pipeline.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
In 2020, average electricity tariffs for agriculture and industry were at US$6c/kWh (-8% compared to 2019). Electricity prices for households stood at US$11c/kWh, a 12% increase from 2019 levels.
Graph: ELECTRICITY PRICES FOR INDUSTRY AND HOUSEHOLDS (US$c/kWh)
Energy Consumption
Per capita consumption is around 0.36 toe and around 440 kWh of electricity (2019). It is below the regional average.
Graph: CONSUMPTION TRENDS BY ENERGY SOURCE (Mtoe)
Total energy consumption has been increasing by 2%/year, on average, since 2000 to 11 Mt in 2019.
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
According to EDM's Integrated Master Plan (2018-2043), the company expects power demand to increase by 6%/year to 35.4 TWh in 2043. To meet this demand, up to US$19bn in investments will be deployed, adding over 10 GW into the grid (6 500 MW of hydropower, 3 200 MW of coal-fired, 1 500 MW of gas-fired, 60 MW of biomass, and 30 MW of wind).
