Neoen launches construction of 41 MWp Central Solar Metoro project in Ancuabe district

Neoen and its partner Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) have completed the financial close and launched construction of Central Solar Metoro, a 41 MWp solar photovoltaic power plant located in northern Mozambique.

The power generated by the facility, which is due to enter service in late 2020, will be delivered at the strategic location of Metoro (Ancuabe district), the main transmission and distribution substation in northern Mozambique. It will supply the national grid, providing power in the Provinces of Cabo Delgado and Nampula.

The project represents a US$56 million investment, of which US$40 million will be provided in the form of debt by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and its subsidiary Proparco. Efacec will build the facility.
