PROLER: Developing power production from renewable energies

ongoing

The PROLER program assists Mozambique's national electricity company (EDM) in setting up calls for tenders. These calls for tenders enable renewable energy power generation projects to be launched with a total installed capacity of around 120 MW. To date, three solar projects are planned in the north near the cities of Dondo, Nacala, and Lichinga. A fourth site has been chosen for rolling out a wind power project.To facilitate the implementation of these projects, AFD provides EDM and the Mozambican authorities with technical assistance for preparing and launching calls for tender. This includes conducting all feasibility studies and preliminary environmental and social studies. For private power producing companies that respond to these calls for tender, AFD also proposes establishing a guarantee mechanism to limit the risk of non-payment by the buyer, which is EDM, the national operator.
