The second phase of the natural gas project in Pande
and Temane and the light oil project in Inhassoro, in Inhambane province,
southern Mozambique, will take place in the 2020-2024 five-year period, the
Mozambican prime minister said on Thursday in Maputo. Carlos Agostinho do
Rosário, who spoke at the session to present and examine the Government’s Five
Year Programme (PQG) for 2020-2024 in parliament, said that those two projects
will be the highlight among the large investments to be carried out in the
five-year period.
The prime minister’s hope also extends to the
beginning of production of the gas exploration and liquefaction project on the
Coral Sul floating platform in Area 4 in the Rovuma basin and the beginning of
the projects in Area 1 of the same basin. As part of these projects two natural
gas liquefaction modules are due to be installed in Afungi, in Cabo Delgado
province, northern Mozambique.
The prime minister also said that in terms of
electricity in this five-year period the aim is to supply power to all of the
country’s administrative posts after the process of electrification of all
district headquarters was concluded, according to the AIM news agency. To
achieve this, as part of the Energy for All Programme, in this five-year period
the natural gas thermoelectric plant in Temane is due to be built, the
construction of solar plants in Metoro and Pemba in Cabo Delgado and Cuamba, in
Niassa province will be concluded, along with the construction of two
mini-hydro plants in Berua, in Zambézia and Luaisse, in Niassa province and the
construction of a the high-voltage Cuamba-Marrupa power transmission line will
be finished. With these projects, the prime minister believes that Mozambique
will increase the number of consumers of power from the national grid by 3.8
million, increasing the coverage rate of the population with access to
high-quality energy from 34% currently to 63% in 2024.
