The government of Mozambique has launched a call for tenders for the development of three solar PV projects. The facilities will be located in three provinces of the country and look to enable IPPs to add 120 MWp to the national grid.
The new tender was issued by the Mozambican Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (Mireme). Each plant will have a capacity of 40MWp and will be located in the provinces of the provinces of Sofala, Niassa and Tete.
The tender falls under the country’s European Union Renewable Energy Auction Promotion Program (Proler) and will be implemented by state utility Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) in partnership with the French Development Agency (AFD) and the European Union.
“The structuring of renewable energy auctions, with a financial contribution of 37 million euros from the European Union in partnership with AFD, aims to diversify quality and low-cost energy sources, ensuring a greater contribution of renewable energies in the country’s energy transition and electrification. A financing agreement in the framework of Proler will be signed between the government and development partners,” Mireme stated.
Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope by November 16, 2020.
