Oslo, 30 July 2019: Scatec Solar and partners have grid connected and started
commercial operation for the 40 MW Mocuba solar power plant in Mozambique.
"We are proud to complete the first large scale solar power plant in Mozambique
in close cooperation with our partners. The solar plant will be an important
contributor to increase the share of renewable power in the country by
delivering clean energy to around 175,000 households", says Raymond Carlsen, CEO
of Scatec Solar.
The 40 MW solar plant is located close to the city of Mocuba in the Zambézia
Province and will deliver 79 GWh per year of much needed electricity to the
northern regions of Mozambique. The clean energy produced by the Mocuba plant
will contribute to avoid about 75,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
Equity partners are KLP Norfund Investments (22.5%), EDM -Electricidade de
Mozambique (25%), and Scatec Solar (52.5%). The 25-years Power Purchase
Agreement was signed in October 2016 with the state-owned utility EDM.
With grid connection of this power plant, Scatec Solar currently has plants with
a total capacity of 951 MW in operation and another 953 MW under construction.
