Mozambique garners a nice chunk of investment from fellow Portuguese-speaking Brazil as well as China, but Japan is hoping to boost bilateral ties as well.
Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made his first visit to the continent, stopping in Mozambique and signing agreements on various sectors including energy. While the island nation will be looking into the southern African country’s natural resources like natural gas, infrastructure will need to be a priority which could signal to more renewable energy applications.
Mozambique could increase its power generation from 12 GW to 18 GW by focusing on small-scale power generation units. The country is also looking to finish a renewable energy atlas which will give investors a better view of various hot spots for solar, biofuels, and other renewable energy sources.
