State-owned company Mozambique Electricity needs US$120 million to rehabilitate infrastructure destroyed by Cyclone Idai in the centre of the country, the company announced today.
EDM’s Operational Area chief Carlos Gimo told public radio station Radio Mozambique that most of the investment would be channelled to the rehabilitation of the power supply line from the Mavúzi dam in Manica province to the Munhava substation in Beira.
Cyclone Idai left more than 95% of EDM’s customers in the provinces of Sofala, Manica, Tete and Zambezia without electricity.
Carlos Gimo said that the company was preparing an investors’ conference to raise funds for the rehabilitation of infrastructure.
Cyclone Idai made landfall in the central region of Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe on March 14. In Mozambique, the cyclone killed 602 and left 1,641 injured, affecting more than 1.5 million people, according to the latest figures.
The Mozambican Ministry of Health on Tuesday announced the seventh death in the cholera outbreak following Cyclone Idai and its attendant floods.
