Total Energy Consumption

Per capita consumption is around 0.35 toe in 2021, down from its 0.39 toe peak in 2015, which is 45% below the African average. Per capita electricity consumption reached around 400 KWh; it has decreased by 16% since 2011. It is 27% below the African average (2021).

Crude Oil Production

Mozambique produces NGL in very limited quantity and has no refinery, therefore, all the oil products supplied are imported, totalling 1.7 Mt in 20210 (stable since 2016).

Renewable in % Electricity Production

The country adopted the Strategy for New and Renewable Energy Development (PNENR) 2011-2025 in 2011, with the aim of developing renewables for electricity generation. The PNENR determined targets for renewables, including a doubling of the hydropower capacity (to over 4 GW) and the elaboration of potential studies for marine and geothermal energy.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In its updated NDC (2021), Mozambique targeted a GHG emission reduction target of 10 MtCO2eq in 2025, i.e. around 20% below a BAU projection; the cumulated reduction between 2020 and 2025 is estimated at 40 Mt. The target is conditional on financial assistance and technology transfer.

The National Strategy for Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change 2013-2025 (ENAMMC, 2012) aims to reduce vulnerability to climate change and improve the population's living conditions.
