Scatec Solar and partners have grid connected and started commercial operation for the 40 MW Mocuba solar power plant in Mozambique.

The 40 MW solar plant is located close to the city of Mocuba in the Zambézia Province and will deliver 79 GWh per year of much needed electricity to the northern regions of Mozambique. The clean energy produced by the Mocuba plant will contribute to avoid about 75,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.

Equity partners are KLP Norfund Investments (22.5%), EDM -Electricidade de Mozambique (25%), and Scatec Solar (52.5%).

The 25-year Power Purchase Agreement was signed in October 2016 with the state-owned utility Electricidade de Mocambique.
