Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) has assured that it is making efforts to ensure that some border posts in the central province of Tete are no longer dependent on electricity from neighboring countries, especially Zimbabwe and Malawi.

According to EDM's Director of Electrification and Projects, Sílvio Nurmomad, these are the border posts of Cuchamano, in the Changara district, which is supplied by Zimbabwe, and Calómué and Lisulo, in the Angónia district, which depend on electricity from Malawi.

In a publication by AIMThe source also explained that the inhabitants of the border posts of Biribiri and Tsangano, who come from Malawi, Cassacatiza, Chifunde and Zumbo from Zambia consume electricity from abroad.

"The border towns are part of EDM's plan to expand the national grid, but we also come across various situations that end up causing the plan to be slightly altered along the way," he said, stressing that the project to light these border posts is part of the state-owned electricity company's efforts to expand the grid in order to improve power quality in the city of Tete.
