Mozambique energy report

• 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 national power utility and is wholly owned by the State. The company is vertically integrated.

• Energy Supply

  Resources:

  Mozambique owns large energy resources. The country has a large hydro potential, estimated at 18.6 GW with 5.6 GW presenting technical and economic feasibility. It is mainly located in the Zambezi Valley, which includes the existing Cahora Bassa Dam.

• Energy Prices

  Oil:

  Gasoline and diesel prices are in line with regional averages. They decreased from 2013 levels until 2017 and increased significantly in 2018 to US$1.15/l and US$1.07/l, respectively.

• Energy Consumption

  Per capita consumption is around 0.35 toe and around 460 kWh of electricity (2018). It is below the regional average.

• 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).

In the Mozambique energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The Mozambique energy market data since 1990 and up to 2018 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Mozambique country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Mozambique Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Mozambique energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
