Latest revision as of 11:57, 17 July 2023
In 2019, only 30% of the total population of Mozambique had electricity access while 5% had access to clean cooking fuels and technologies[1]. However, Mozambique has a huge RE potential i.e. 23,000 GW of solar energy[2], 12,000 MW of hydro energy[3], 4.5 GW of wind potential and 2 GW of biomass energy[4]. Thus, off-grid renewable solutions have the potential to bridge the energy access gap and achieve country-wide electrification and access to clean cooking.
Against this background, energypedia organized a series of webinars on selected RE technologies (solar home systems, improved cookstoves, mini/nano grid and solar powered irrigation). The topics discussed in each webinar were based on demand and interest from the Mozambican energy sector. The aim of this webinar series is twofold: to promote knowledge creation and sharing on the mentioned RE technologies, and to highlight the experiences (both success and failure case stories and learnings) from the sector to prevent duplication and inventing of the wheel. The case studies featured during the webinars can be found in the corresponding sub-portals in the “Mozambique Off-grid Knowledge Hub”.
