Two new 400-megawatt power plants generating electricity using natural gas are to be built in Nampula’s Nacala-a-Velha district, places the region firmly in the orbit of large investments.
Nampula governor Victor Borges explained to Notícias that the project, which will start this year, will be spearheaded by a foreign-owned company called Nacala Power, which will respond to the challenges of the central government energy matrix by increasing the availability of electricity in response to demand from the industrial sector in particular.
The gas to be converted into electricity, which will then be sold to the company Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM), which has already expressed an interest, will be imported in the instance from producer countries in Asia. However, imports will later be replaced by product from the Rovuma basin in Cabo Delgado, in the north of the country.
