The Global Energy Transfer Feed in Tariff Programmme (GET FiT) is funded by the KfW and the BMZ. It aims to accelerate small renewable energy generation by offering technical assistance, financial risk mitigation, and renewable grid integration support. The programme has already been completed in Uganda and is currently pursuing to replicate their positive results in Mozambique.

GET FiT Mozambique was the result of a pre-feasibility study funded by the Government of the United Kingdom in 2015. This study highlighted the large potential to involve Independent Power Producers in the renewable energy market in Mozambique[10]. After these conclusions, the GET FiT Programme was signed in September 2019 to promote investments in photovoltaic systems in three reverse auction rounds. The total financing amount is EUR 25 million. Mozambique’s Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME) is implementing this programme. The bidding for projects is expected to start in 2021[11].
