Construction Project of the Chibuto Solar Power Plant

SAL Energia conducted the signing ceremony for the partnership contracts for the Chibuto Power Plant Project, which was attended by prominent leaders and representatives of the involved entities.

As the project proponent, SAL Energia joined forces with NORCONSULT, responsible for the feasibility study, and IMPACTO, the environmental consultant, to move forward with the project. These collaborations reflect our commitment to promoting sustainable development and renewable energy in Mozambique.

"SAL Energia, in collaboration with Energy China, is developing the Chibuto Solar Plant Project. This project, in its first phase, is expected to have a capacity of 95 megawatts, with a future expansion to 200 megawatts. The project aims to address national and regional energy issues, positioning Mozambique as the largest energy producer in the sub-Saharan region, benefiting not only Mozambique but also neighboring countries facing energy challenges."

Patrício ChemaneChief Executive Officer, SAL Energia

"This is an important project for Mozambique. It is a Solar Energy Project, which is a renewable and clean energy source, thus a positive initiative. When conducting an environmental impact assessment, we analyze the potential impacts of the project on the environment. If we identify potential negative impacts, we propose mitigation measures to eliminate or reduce these impacts on the biophysical environment, habitats, flora, and fauna, as well as on the socio-economic environment, including the people living in the area and their lands."

John HattonDeputy General Manager, IMPACTO

"The Chibuto Power Plant Project has as its main objectives the increase in energy generation capacity in the southern region to meet the growing demand for electricity, and the promotion of energy transition, in line with the recently approved National Energy Transition Strategy by the Council of Ministers. This strategy aims to promote clean and renewable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuel sources and consequently decreasing the negative impacts caused by CO2 emissions. In this way, we support efforts to combat climate change."

Adelino DaúdeDirector, SAL Energia

"The 95-megawatt Chibuto Solar Plant Project is a truly bold endeavor with promoters strongly committed to the country's development. It is believed that this project will revolutionize the energy supply in the country and beyond, positioning SAL Energia as a strategic development promoter. Energy generation is crucial for national progress, especially to support the industry. As we know, industrialization is not possible without an adequate energy supply."

Public consultation (presentation) of the Chibuto Solar Power Plant Project to the community

SAL Energia held a conference to present the Chibuto Solar Power Plant Project to local community leaders. The event was attended by government representatives, religious leaders, partners, youth, and other stakeholders. During the conference, the benefits of the project were discussed, including clean energy generation, job creation, and sustainable socioeconomic development. SAL Energia reaffirmed its commitment to promoting renewable energy and the sustainable development of Chibuto and Mozambique as a whole.

The conference aimed to highlight the benefits and positive impact that the Chibuto Solar Power Plant will bring to the region. A detailed overview of the project was presented, covering everything from the technology used to the expected benefits, such as clean and sustainable energy generation, local job creation, and stimulation of socioeconomic development.

Participants listened to inspiring speeches and engaged in interactive sessions where crucial issues about the region’s energy future were discussed. Additionally, there were opportunities for idea exchange and building strategic partnerships, reinforcing the collective commitment to sustainability and progress.

SAL Energia reaffirmed its role as a driving force in promoting renewable energy, committed to working alongside communities to build a more responsible future. This event not only marked the beginning of an ambitious project but also strengthened the bonds among all stakeholders involved, aligned with the common goal of transforming Mozambique’s energy future.
