Siemens will build a substation this year to supply electricity through a high-voltage power line to the Moatize district in Tete province, central Mozambique, the company said on Tuesday.
In a statement Siemens said construction of the facility will be carried out under a contract it has entered into with public power company Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM).
“This new substation is being built under the energy plan that EDM has designed and will make it possible to supply electricity to the villages surrounding the province of Tete, contributing to the region’s development from an economic and social point of view,” said EDM director Carlos Alberto Yum.
The substation will be built in an area of 800 square metres, will have a capacity of 50 megawatts and be fed by a high voltage line connected to the substation of the consortium led by Brazilian company Vale.
The Vale consortium has the largest coal concession in the Moatize district.
The statement did not give the cost of the substation or the duration of the work.
