Government action is pivotal in building secure, inclusive and sustainable energy systems. Energy policy is critical not just for the energy sector but also for meeting environmental, economic and social goals. Governments need to respond to national specific needs, adapt to regional contexts, and help address global challenges. In this context, the IEA conducts Energy Policy Reviews to support governments in developing more impactful energy and climate policies.
The Energy Policy Review of Mozambique was prepared by the IEA in collaboration with the government of Mozambique, building on a strong partnership that has been active across several areas since 2023.
The review leverages the IEA’s extensive knowledge and the inputs of expert peers from the IEA Family to assess Mozambique’s most pressing energy challenges and provide recommendations backed by international best practices, especially as Mozambique works to implement its ambitious Energy Transition Strategy (ETE), approved in 2023.
The Mozambique Energy Policy Review 2024 highlights the country’s progress in expanding electricity access and its considerable renewable and mineral resources. At the same time, the country continues to face significant challenges, including low rates of modern energy use and the need for further investment and institutional strengthening. Achieving the government’s targets for universal access and sustainable growth will depend on continued reforms, improved governance, and effective mobilisation of resources, particularly for rural electrification, clean cooking, and grid development.
