| + | Within the off-grid segment, GET.transform’s activities in Mozambique centre around the Energy Regulatory Authority (ARENE), aiming to improve the investment environment for mini-grid investments in the country. After the technical support to develop the general regulatory framework, GET.transform supported arene in developing specific sub-regulation packages for mini-grids in line with the provision of the new electricity law of July 2022. GET.transform provided support to MIREME for the revision of this law. Currently, with the overarching mini-grid regulation and its sub-regulation packages having been approved, GET.transform develops the (first and only) national Mini-Grid Tendering Mechanism for the procurement of mini-grid processes. Now underway in its phase 1, the mechanism being developed will be piloted in the upcoming phase 2. GET.transform will accompany and support ARENE in the implementation and application of the new process and contribute to the sustainable scaling of off-grid electrification in the country. | ||

EnDev – Energising Development
Technology focus: ICS, SHS, PUE, On-grid Electrification
Duration: 2005 to 2024[1]
Energising Development programme (EnDev) is a multi-donor programme financed by the BMZ, the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS), Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). It is implemented jointly by GIZ and Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl). The programme works towards improving access to modern energy services in more than 20 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. EnDev and GBE supported the establishment of the RBF fund: FASER (Fondo de Acesso sustentável as energias renováveis em Moçambique, Fund for Sustainable Access to Renewable Energies and Efficient Technologies).
Since 2006, EnDev Mozambique has provided access sustainable energy access to over one million people. EnDev tackles energy poverty with a market-based approach to serve people in Mozambique with sustainable access to modern energy services via solar home systems, pico photovoltaic systems and improved cookstoves[2]. In the area of grid densification. EnDev Mozambique is working with the national state-owned electricity utility EdM to provide access to the electricity grid for disadvantaged households.

GBE – Green People’s Energy Mozambique
Technology focus: SHS, ICS, PUE
Duration: 2018 to 2022[3].
The Green People’s Energy Programme (in German: Grüne Bürgerenergie, GBE) is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The programme’s objective is to improve access to energy in rural areas in selected African countries with a special focus on decentralised renewable energy and participation of local municipalities, cooperatives and local companies[4].
The activities include promotion of productive use of energy for income generation; encouraging private sector to improve the quality of their services; advising political decision-makers on better integration of decentralised renewable energy; and supporting the use of decentralised energy in social institutions in Mozambique. Furthermore, the programme will also support training institutions to expand the courses offered on renewable energy and capacitate employees of current and potential companies in the markets for solar home systems and improved cookstoves[5].
Jointly with Energising Development (EnDev), GBE supported the establishment of a results-based financing (RBF) fund: FASER (Fondo de Acesso sustentável as energias renováveis em Moçambique, Fund for Sustainable Access to Renewable Energies and Efficient Technologies).
