Mozambique sells container energy storage

Our solar power plant in Cuamba was inaugurated in September of 2023. It marked another milestone for Globeleq and Mozambique, as it was the first IPP to integrate a utility-scale energy storage system.

Globeleq sees battery storage as a key technology for Mozambique's future. Storage costs are expected to continue decreasing, so those systems will become more competitive and will be able to contribute more.

You can ship a container to Mozambique using FCL (Full Container Load) or LCL (Less than a Container Load) shipment at the best rate with iContainers. They operate in 4 ports in Mozambique from the United States and in 3 ports in Mozambique from Spain for ocean freight transport.

Mike Scholey, Globeleq's CEO remarked: “We are extremely excited to now have Cuamba Solar officially delivering clean power to the Mozambican grid via EDM and supporting both the local economy and the Government's efforts to build more renewable power.

South Africa has a critical shortage of electricity, and Zambia and Zimbabwe also require power. There is a significant opportunity for Mozambique to increasingly become a power exporter. One of the big challenges of Mozambique is its size and shape, which make the transportation of electrons across the country quite expensive.

The US$36 million Cuamba Solar plant is also Globeleq's first greenfield project in Mozambique and the Group's first combined solar and storage plant in its operating portfolio.
