Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
MIREME, Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy 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 started in 2004 and increased rapidly to 4.6 bcm in 2015; it was stable until 2019 and rose by 5% in 2020. Over 80% of the gas produced is exported to South Africa via the Temane-Secunda pipeline.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices are regulated by the ARENE and are progressive (inclining block rates). Since 2012, electricity prices are subsidised, as the average cost of supply exceeds the average selling price, and the spread is growing over the years, reaching 60% in 2020, although several tariff adjustments have been implemented.
Energy Consumption
Per capita consumption is around 0.36 toe in 2020, down from its 0.39 toe peak in 2015, which is 45% below the African average. Per capita electricity consumption has remained quite stable since 2010 at around 440 kWh, which is 15% below the African average (2020).

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 (4 200 MW of hydropower, 2 000 MW of coal-fired, 8 500 MW of gas-fired, 60 MW of biomass, 530 MW of solar, and 150 MW of wind).
