Mozambique has almost doubled its electrification rate over the past decade, but access remains deeply uneven. Following a data report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) published by Lusa, more than half of Mozambicans s till lacked electricity in 2022.
Mozambique will require more than $80 billion to implement its long-term energy transition strategy through 2050, as the government expands off-grid electrification efforts to reach millions still without reliable power.
The initiative will be financed by a $100 million World Bank grant and $31 million from the Mozambique Energy for All Multi-Donor Trust Fund, including contributions from Sweden ($13 million) and Norway ($18 million).
Mozambique has installed over 700,000 domestic solar systems since 2024, benefiting millions. It also plans to have more than 111 solar and hydro mini grids operating by year end, producing 11.5 megawatts.
