4 FAQs about Mozambique microgrid applications

Does Mozambique have a mini-grid market?

The mini-grid market for private sector is still small in Mozambique. Regulatory restrictions limit the participation of the private sector to develop mini-grid projects.

How were the mini-grid projects prepared?

The contracts were awarded to two construction consortias, which included international and national firms. Another critical step in the preparations for the mini-grid projects was the selection of the beneficiaries in the 5 communities.

How are mini-grid projects accelerating the growth of Funae's portfolios?

Past programmes, such as the Clean Energy Mini-Grids (CEMG) from the UNDP supporting FUNAE and EDM, aided investment in mini-grid projects leading to an increase in FUNAE's portfolios. Several initiatives and government strategies are keeping up the pace of the development of mini-grid projects.

What is a mini-grid & how does it work?

Unlike the market for Solar Home Systems (SHS) and Improved Cookstoves (ICS), which are targeted at individual users, namely a household or institution, mini-grids provide access to electricity to a larger number of end-users simultaneously. Read more...
