Mozambique s Energy Storage Battery Policy Key Insights for Renewable Energy Investors

Discover how Mozambique's latest energy storage battery policy creates opportunities for solar integration, grid stability, and sustainable development.

Why Mozambique Needs Energy Storage Solutions

With 62% of its population lacking reliable electricity access, Mozambique is accelerating its renewable energy adoption. The government's 2023-2030 Energy Storage Masterplan aims to:

  • Increase renewable energy integration from 28% to 45%
  • Reduce grid instability incidents by 70%
  • Attract $800 million in battery storage investments
"Energy storage is the missing link in our renewable energy transition," stated Carlos Matsinhe, Director of Energy Regulation at MIREME.

Key Policy Incentives

The policy framework offers concrete benefits for project developers:

Incentive Type Benefit Eligibility
Tax Holidays 5-year corporate tax exemption Projects >10MW capacity
Import Duty Waivers 0% duty on lithium-ion batteries ENACOM-certified equipment

Implementation Challenges & Solutions

While the policy shows promise, practical hurdles remain:

  • Grid Compatibility: Existing infrastructure supports only 2-hour storage systems
  • Skill Gap: Only 23 certified battery engineers nationwide

Companies like EK SOLAR address these challenges through:
