초록/요약
Mozambique is located in Southern Africa and is one of the African countries rich in energy resources such as coal, gas reserves, renewable resources (hydraulic, solar, wind and geothermal). The energy structure of Mozambique is based on the traditional form, the regulated monopoly, introducing a single buyer in the energy sector called Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM), which is also vertically integrated throughout the generation, transmission, distribution and retail value chain. The main objective in the energy sector is to electrify all provinces by 2030, decarbonizing energy production by 20% using available renewable energies and optimizing energy consumption on both the demand and supply sides. However, domestic expansion of new renewable energy faces the lack of clarity in policies and regulations and the lack of project financing due to the high investment cost. Despite the low level of greenhouse gas emissions, Mozambique remains the continent most susceptible to climate change, constituting a major challenge for Africa's success in the energy sector. Invading cyclones and heavy rains have contributed to the destruction of infrastructure, facing exponential collateral damage, posing threats to the structure of the economy, investment, and basic services such as public health, water, and agriculture, also, threats to undo the development, compromising the slide into poverty, and diminishing the expectation of materializing the country's annual development planning. Therefore, with all the events that take place in the country, the government is betting on renewable integration to contribute to clean energy production. From this perspective, the main objective of this study is the economic analysis of solar energy in Mozambique specifically in the Lichinga power plant, also focusing on the trend of evolution price of photovoltaic energy, the levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of generating solar energy and the main challenges that Mozambique faces over these years to fit in the energy transition
