Mozambique — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 85 energy assets in Mozambique across 10 layers — the 67th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 25 power plants, 15 cement plants and 11 coal / uranium mines. Operating generation capacity is 2.7 GW, led by hydro at 76%.

The companies named on the most assets are Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos EP (10), TotalEnergies SE (10) and Electricidade de Moçambique EP (7), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Mozambique's mapped assets in service predate 2015 (median commissioning year of the 23 with a known date), 9 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Cahora Bassa hydroelectric plant, dating from 1974. 39 projects are under construction or proposed, led by JER Green Hydrogen Solar PV Project (Mozambique) (12.0 GW).
