Zambia and Mozambique will construct a 1,500-megawatt hydroelectric facility at Mphanda Nkuwa along the Zambezi River. The partners aim to strengthen power supplies and attract private investment by developing shared infrastructure in the Southern African region.
Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema said the initiative supports industrial expansion and economic ties between both nations. Mozambican President Daniel Chapo announced that Zambian officials will travel to Mozambique next month to review project details and assess technical requirements.
State utilities Electricity of Mozambique and Zesco Limited already cooperate to expand generation capacity. Authorities are developing the second phase of the Cahora Bassa plant in Tete Province as part of broader regional power efforts.
The completed project will supply electricity to multiple countries through the Southern African Power Pool. Both governments emphasized cooperation beyond energy in sectors like trade and agriculture.
