Mozambique energy storage photovoltaic combiner box sales

When did Globeleq & Mozambique launch a solar power plant?

Our solar power plant in Cuamba was inaugurated in September of 2023. It marked another milestone for Globeleq and Mozambique, as it was the first IPP to integrate a utility-scale energy storage system.

Why is Mozambique a good place to invest in solar energy?

Firstly, Mozambique has a high solar irradiation level, making it an ideal location for harnessing solar energy. This abundant solar resource presents a sustainable and cost-effective solution for addressing the country’s energy needs.

Does Mozambique need solar energy?

In the rapidly evolving world of renewable energy, Mozambique has emerged as a significant player, especially in the solar energy sector. With its abundant sunshine and increasing focus on sustainable development, the demand for solar energy systems in Mozambique has seen a considerable rise.

What does Cuamba solar mean for Mozambique?

The plant is the first IPP in Mozambique to integrate a utility-scale energy storage system and includes an upgrade to the existing Cuamba substation. The Cuamba Solar plant supplies enough power for 21,800 consumers over the project’s life and is expected to avoid the equivalent of more than 172,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions

Is battery storage a key technology for Mozambique's future?

Globeleq sees battery storage as a key technology for Mozambique’s future. Storage costs are expected to continue decreasing, so those systems will become more competitive and will be able to contribute more.

Can Mozambique become a power exporter?

South Africa has a critical shortage of electricity, and Zambia and Zimbabwe also require power. There is a significant opportunity for Mozambique to increasingly become a power exporter. One of the big challenges of Mozambique is its size and shape, which make the transportation of electrons across the country quite expensive.
