Mozambique to build solar power plant
The African Development Bank has approved a $150 million loan to Mozambique for the construction of a floating solar power plant at the Cahora Bassa reservoir.
The Electricidade de Mozambique company proposed the construction of a solar power plant. The initiative is aimed at diversifying electricity production in the face of a shortage of hydropower caused by drought.
According to World Bank experts, the country's energy sector is heavily dependent on the Cahora Bassa hydroelectric power plant, so expanding solar energy capacity is a strategic necessity for Mozambique.
