- Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Estevão Pale has launched the National Geospatial Least-Cost Electrification Plan 2026–2030 and the Integrated Electrification Platform. These tools are designed to guide investment in the sector by identifying the lowest-cost solutions for each region and maximising the economic and social impact of the resources invested. According to Estevão Pale, the new plan ensures that every metical invested delivers the greatest possible benefit to communities.
Mozambique now has geospatial planning tools to guide investment in the country’s electrification. These tools can help identify the lowest-cost solutions for each region and maximise the economic and social impact of the resources invested in the sector.
“This instrument ensures that every metical invested in electrification delivers the greatest possible social and economic impact for each human settlement, efficiently and at the lowest possible cost per connection,” Pale said.
The plan uses advanced modelling and geospatial data to determine the most efficient combination of extending the national electricity grid and deploying off-grid solutions, taking into account the characteristics of d...
