Renewable in % Electricity Production

The National Directorate of New and Renewable Energy is in charge of framing policies to stimulate the use of renewables in the country's energy mix.

The Master Plan for Electrical Infrastructure ("Plano Diretor de Infraestruturas Elétricas 2018-2043") aims for a 20% share of renewables in the national grid by 2043. As a consequence, the government launched the first program for RES auctions, called Renewable Energy Auctions Initiative (PROLER). The first tender was launched in 2020, including four RES projects of around 40 MW each in the Maputo region.

CO₂ Fuel Combustion/CO₂ Emissions

In 2018, Mozambique submitted its NDC, which included a GHG emission reduction target of 76.5 MtCO₂eq (-23 MtCO₂eq for 2024) between 2020 and 2030 compared to 1995 levels (15.9 MtCO₂eq). The targets, despite being ambitious, are conditional on financial assistance and technology transfer.
