Mozambique’s publicly owned electricity company, EDM, announced the electrification on Thursday of the Galinha administrative post, in Muanza district, in the central province of Sofala.
The electrification consisted of building 32 kilometres of 33 Kv medium voltage power line from Derunde village to Galinha, and ten kilometres of low voltage line. Five 100 kVa transformers were installed and 150 lampposts for public lighting.
500 new consumers were connected to the national grid. The project was entirely financed out of the Mozambican state budget, costing 113 million meticais (about 1.8 million dollars at the current exchange rate).
Galinha is the third administrative post to be electrified this year. 50 administrative posts have been electrified since 2020. In Sofala province, 31 out of the 33 administrative posts have now been electrified.
An EDM press release added that the company “recognizes the preponderant role that electric power plays in national development, by creating conditions to drive the industrialization and modernization of the economy”.
