Government will launch by the end of next month a tender to find strategic partners interested in developing solar power generation projects in Lichinga, Niassa, and Manje, Tete.  

According to data provided to "Noticias" by the president of the Board of Directors of the Energy Regulatory Authority (ARENE), Paulo da Graça, the launching of the tender is part of the Renewable Energy Auctions Program.

The source cited by the newspaper said that the two plants will have the capacity to generate 30 megawatts each.

And for the realization of the project, two meetings are scheduled for the next 29th for the public presentation of the environmental pre-feasibility study and the definition of the scope and terms of reference and consultation of all parties interested and affected by the project.

In Mozambique, the Renewable Energy Auction Program (PROLER) was launched in September 2020.

This is an initiative developed by the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, with the support of the European Union, as part of the promotion of increased electricity generation capacity in the country.

With the launch of the auctions under a public tender regime, the Government intends to confer transparency and competitiveness to the renewable energy sector, attracting potential national and international investors.
