This afternoon, Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) announced a set of promotional measures aimed at mitigating the impact of the ongoing exemptions and ensuring the well-being of families during the festive season.

According to the EDM press release we have seen, the initiatives, which come into force immediately, include the VAT exemption for Social Tariff customers: this measure will be valid until January 31, 2025, benefiting low-income families.

Exemption from interest on arrears: where customers with arrears will be able to settle their situation without paying interest on arrears until February 28, 2025.

Exemption from the Reconnection Fee: this measure allows customers who have had their energy supply interrupted for commercial, technical or on-demand reasons to request reconnection at no extra cost until February 28, 2025.

And finally, the regularization of irregular consumption: where all installations that consume energy irregularly on the MV, MTA and GCBT tariffs will be geo-referenced, with retroactive consumption billed.

Also according to the document, customers will be reconnected with a Split Meter, eliminating the payment of 25% for unbilled consumption.

In addition, the Discount Rate on retroactive energy during purchases will be reduced from 75% to 50%.
