Mozambique Total Energy Consumption

Per capita consumption was around 0.36 toe in 2022, which is 45% below the African average. Per capita electricity consumption reached around 400 kWh and is 28% below the African average (2022).

Graph: CONSUMPTION TRENDS BY ENERGY SOURCE (Mtoe)

Total energy consumption has been increasing very rapidly since 2020 (6.5%/year), two times more rapidly than the GDP, to 12 Mtoe in 2022. It grew by 4.5%/year on average between 2010 and 2019.

Mozambique Crude Oil Production

Mozambique produces NGL in very limited quantity and has no refinery, therefore, all the oil products supplied are imported (2.2 Mt in 2022 (+20%).

Mozambique Renewable in % Electricity Production

The Strategy for New and Renewable Energy Development 2011-2025 (PNENR, 2011) is aimed at developing renewables for electricity generation. The PNENR determined targets for renewables, including a doubling of the hydropower capacity (to over 4 GW) and the elaboration of potential studies for marine and geothermal energy.

Mozambique CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In its updated NDC (2021), Mozambique targeted a GHG emission reduction target of 10 MtCO2eq in 2025, i.e. around 20% below a BAU projection. The target is conditional on financial assistance and technology transfer.

The National Strategy for Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change 2013-2025 (ENAMMC, 2012) aims to reduce vulnerability to climate change and improve the population's living conditions.
