In 2019, only 30% of the total population of Mozambique had electricity access while 5% had access to clean cooking fuels and technologies<ref>IRENA et al., ‘Tracking SDG 7: The Energy Progress Report (2021)’, /publications/2021/Jun/Tracking-SDG-7-2021, 7, accessed 9 June 2021, /publications/2021/Jun/Tracking-SDG-7-2021.</ref>. However, Mozambique has a huge RE potential i.e. 23,000 GW of solar energy<ref>Pranab Baruah and Brendan Coleman, ‘Country Brief: Mozambique Off-Grid Solar Power in Mozambique: Opportunities for Universal Energy Access and Barriers to Private Sector Participation’, n.d., 26.</ref>, 12,000 MW of hydro energy<ref>Kameshnee Naidoo and Christiaan Loots, ‘Mozambique / Energy and the Poor – Unpacking the Investment Case for Clean Energy’, 2020, https://sun-connect-news.org/fileadmin/DATEIEN/Dateien/New/2021-01-29_UNDP-UNCDF-Mozambique-Energy-and-the-Poor.pdf</ref>, 4.5 GW of wind potential and 2 GW of biomass energy<ref>GET.invest, ‘Renewable Energy Potential – GET.Invest’, accessed 21 April 2021, https://www.get-invest.eu/market-information/mozambique/renewable-energy-potential/.</ref>. 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 is organizing a series of webinars on selected RE technologies such as solar home systems, improved cookstoves, mini/nano grid and solar powered irrigation. Based on demand and interest from the Mozambican energy sector, the webinar series will/can be expanded to include other productive uses of energy.  

The aim of this webinar series is twofold: promote knowledge creation and sharing on selected RE technologies (mentioned above) and 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 will also feed into the “[[Mozambique Off-grid Knowledge Hub|'''Mozambique Off-grid Knowledge Hub''']]”.
