Mozambique Energy Research
- Mozambique's Energy & Climate Policy Framework: Mozambique aims for 100% electrification by 2030, supported by new mining, petroleum, and electricity laws. The Energy Transition Strategy targets renewables, green hydrogen, and 15% GHG reduction.
- Mozambique's Energy Companies: Mozambique's energy sector is dominated by state utilities EDM (electricity) and ENH (hydrocarbons), alongside major international firms in gas, oil, and coal production, transmission and distribution.
- Mozambique's Energy Supply & Demand: Mozambique’s energy supply is biomass-dominated, though hydropower drives electricity generation. Significant natural gas and coal reserves are largely exported, while oil products are fully imported.
- Mozambique's Energy Use & Price by Sector: In 2024, final energy demand reached 9.1 Mtoe, dominated by biomass (67%). Households and services consumed 67%, industry 17%, and transport 15%. Electricity prices have been subsidised since 2012.
- Mozambique's Issues & Prospects: Mozambique is developing its energy sector, focusing on electricity, oil, gas, and renewables. Key projects include major hydropower, gas-fired plants, LNG exports, and a new crude oil refinery.

Mozambique Total Energy Production & Consumption
Total energy supply has increased by 3.4%/year since 2010 to 12.5 Mtoe (+60%).
Per capita consumption was around 0.36 toe in 2024, which is 20% below the Sub-Saharan African average (0.46 toe).

Mozambique Oil Production & Consumption
Since Mozambique produces crude oil and NGL in very limited quantity -around 10 kt/year- and has no refinery, all the oil products supplied are imported; oil consumption, and thus imports, are growing very rapidly (5%/year since 2010 to 1.9 Mt in 2024).

Mozambique Natural Gas Production & Consumption
Gas production started in 2004 and increased rapidly to 5 bcm in 2015; it was stable until 2022 and rose by 75% in 2023 to 8.5 bcm with the start-up of the LNG facility.

Mozambique Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Just Energy Transition Strategy (2024) focuses on 4 pillars: modern energy systems based on renewable energy sources, green industrialisation, adoption of clean energy transport, and universal access to modern energy. Pillar 1 sets the following targets for renewables for 2030: +2-4 GW of hydro (+9 GW by 2040), +2 GW of solar PV (+5.5-11 GW by 2050), and+0.2-0.5 GW of wind (+2-3 GW by 2050) to meet not only domestic demand but also the needs of neighbouring countries.

Mozambique GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In 2025, the country submitted a provisional NDC 3.0 covering the 2026-2035 period to the UNFCCC. It sets a conditional economy-wide reduction of 15% to 25% below a BaU projection. The final target has not been validated yet.
Previously, in its updated NDC (2021), the country defined a GHG emissions reduction target of 40 MtCO2eq between 2020 and 2025 compared to a BaU scenario. The target was conditional on financial assistance, estimated at around US$7.5bn, and technology transfer.
