QUALITATIVE PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SUPPLY FOR THE MOZAMBICAN TOURISM SECTOR
Executive Summary
The renewable energy market in Sub-Saharan African countries has been taken into consideration by the
international public and private investors in the recent few years. The German Ministry for Economic Affairs and
Energy (BMWi), within the initiative “renewables – Made in Germany”, supports private sector cooperation and the
development of sustainable framework conditions with the Project Development Program (PDP). The PDP works
closely together with both German and local companies from Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania.
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) is responsible to implement the PDP in
Sub-Saharan African countries. Moreover, GIZ has been given the task to determine the potential for renewable
energy (and energy efficiency) in the Mozambican tourism sector, which is the objective of this paper. Specifically,
this paper focuses on the potential of the photovoltaic market within the tourism sector in Mozambique. The overall
goal is to inform the tourism sector about the possibilities of PV power supply and to show the private sector
possible clients and their demand.
The first kick-workshop with the tourism sector was held in November 2013 in Inhambane, Mozambique. As a
result, the decision was made to conduct energy audits of the energy consumption covering the coast of Inhambane
with its simple and luxurious hotels in order to get clear and complete data. Hereinafter, the data was used as input
for this analysis. The energy auditing study has suggested 3 different scenarios for the use of the solar PV in
Mozambican tourism sector: PV-backup system, PV-diesel-hybrid system and PV-island system.
The availability of solar irradiation in Mozambique is extremely encouraging for implementing solar PV systems.
Furthermore, it fits the governments profile for improving and developing the rural electrification. However, it
should be taken into consideration that there are still many obstacles for the development of solar energy projects
in Mozambique such as missing incentive instruments (e.g. feed-in tariffs) and high interest rates. Plus, electricity
from the national grid is very cheap and economic feasibility of grid connected PV hard to reach.
Despite the dynamic and challenging political and financial framework, it is possible to realize PV projects.
Precondition is the use of higher equity or financing the project from outside of Mozambique.
The production cost per kWh electricity from a PV-system is below the production cost of a diesel generator in off
grid applications, therefore adding PV to a diesel generator mini grid to build a PV-diesel-hybrid system is an
option.
In regions where grid failures occur very often, PV-backup systems provide a much higher reliability for the power
supply for the tourism sector.
Especially for low consumption hotel facilities in remote areas a PV-island system with battery storage is the best
option.
To convince hotel managers to implement PV in their power supply, three main topics could be identified: higher
service quality due to a more reliable or longer electricity supply per day, short payback times for the investment,
and eco-tourism as a quality label of the hotel.

1 Framework Conditions
This subsector analysis should show the actual status, the possibilities and the relevance of photovoltaic for the
tourism sector in Mozambique. It has been carried out on the basis of energy audits done for three hotel facilities
with own power supply and for one hotel connected to the grid. All four hotels are located in the province of
Inhambane and near its capital, the city of Inhambane, which acts as a hub for the tourism sector.
In this chapter the background for photovoltaic will be outlined, including the current status of the photovoltaic
market, electricity prices, the results of the energy audits and the climate conditions.
The evaluation of promotion programs as part of the global efforts for climate protection, for example the
“Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action” (NAMA), is not part of this study.
1.1
Weather Data Inhambane
The province of Inhambane is located within the tropical latitude. The global irradiation on horizontal plane with
an average of 1,935 kWh per year is high, hence a very good energy production of photovoltaic plants is possible.
Table 1 shows the irradiation for different cities within the province of Inhambane as a 30 years average. The
selection of the cities indicates the distribution of irradiation within the region. The irradiation data for Inhambane,
Massinga and Vilanculos correspond to the location of the hotel facilities, selected for the energy audit.

Table 2: Ambient Temperature in Inhambane (Source: authors’ illustration)
In the peak season the irradiation is nearly twice as much as during off-season. This matches well with the seasonal
energy demand of the hotel facilities and benefits the tourism of Mozambique. Taking into account the irradiation
average in Table 1 and the temperatures in Table 2, a simulation had been performed to predict the prospective
energy yield of a PV plant. The simulation was done with the planning software PVSyst 6.25. The set of parameters
describes a standard PV-system with crystalline solar panels and string inverters connected to the low voltage grid.
The expected energy yield in the province of Inhambane is about 1,600 kWh/kWp (see Annex A1).
1.2
Basic Parameters: Energy Prices and Grid Reliability
To the time of this study, Mozambique is one of the important exporters for electricity in southern Africa. However,
the electricity grid of Mozambique covers only a part of the country. The key facts describing the supply of
electricity are the following:
■
Availability
The grid connection systems of the rural areas, and therefore the connection of areas of interest for the
tourism sector, are weak. As a direct consequence most hotel facilities run their own power supplies, mostly
driven by diesel generators.
■
Reliability
Mozambique has the ambitious target to connect all 128 regional cities by the end of 2014[5] and to the
complete the transmission grid by 2017. Nevertheless the reliability of the grid, which is insufficient today,
and the availability of the distribution grid will be a topic to take into account furthermore.

■
Electricity Prices for Hotel Facilities On-grid
The tariff of ‘Grandes Consumidores’ is divided into a demand rate, working price and a fix price. The
assessment of different electricity bills of three Casa Rex hotels of February 2014 shows a working price for
a consumer connected to the low voltage grid (BT) including VAT of 1,767Mt/kWh (0.041EUR/kWh) and
for the medium voltage connected consumer of 1,463Mt/kWh (0.034EUR/kWh). This is an increase of
around 6% to the EDM tariffs September 2013 see Figure 1.
With an increase of this amount, the actual total cost for electricity interpreted in terms of kWh is around
2.06 MT/kWh (0.047EUR/kWh) to 2.7 MT/kWh (0.063EUR/kWh).
■
Electricity Generation Prices from Diesel-fuelled Generator Sets
The price for diesel is approximately 0.85EUR/l[12], [13].With a generator set efficiency of approx. 3.0 kWh/l
(net electricity production for small generator systems), of the price amounts to 0.28 EUR/kWh. In
addition to the fuel costs, a tax for generators used for off grid installations applies in Mozambique.
The costs for maintenance are approx. 0.02 – 0.03EUR/kWh, whereas the amount for small generators is
higher than for larger ones. Depending on the generator type, the lifetime of a diesel generator can be
expected between 3,000 to 25,000 hours.[14] Taking this into account, the reserve for replacement
investment can be calculated as 0.02EUR/kWh (see Annex A5).
4
In total the electricity generation, including maintenance and (re-)investment cost, can be calculated as
approx. 0.32EUR/kWh for an off grid electricity supply using diesel generators.
■
Electricity Generation Prices with PV Plants
In Mozambique, the electricity generation costs could be calculated as an estimated specific production of
1,600kWh/kWp per year for a standard PV-system with crystalline solar panels and string inverters. At the
present, the system costs are 1,760 EUR/kWp for small systems up to 30kWp (see Annex A2). The expected
lifetime of a PV system is 20 to 25 years. With operational expenses of 6.5% on average of the annual
turnover (see Annex A3) and a module degradation of 0.3% per year the generation costs are
0.06EUR/kWh for a fully self-financed PV-system.
Conclusions
Due to a low electricity prices for grid connected consumers and lack of an e.g. feed-in tariff system, a first analyse
of the existing situation suggests that a profitable implementation of PV as a grid connected system cannot be
reached. Finally, it is important to highlight that, due to high diesel prices, especially PV-systems for off-grid
applications are a good opportunity.
1.3
Status of Photovoltaic in Mozambique
1.3.1
Technical
The limited number of manufactures of solar PV modules and PV-systems has a negative influence on module
prices. Fosera Southern Africa Limitada, a private factory in Maputo, assembles pico solar photovoltaic systems
with 1.5Wp, 2.5Wp and 5.0Wp per PV kit. Pico systems are defined as systems with a power output up to 10W. The
PV kits are used for household lighting and mobile charging.[1] In order to solve this bottleneck, the government of
Mozambique has signed a contract with the Indian government to build a factory for assembling solar PV modules
with a capacity of around 200Wp for a production capacity of 5MWp.[1] Although it seems encouraging, experts are
not so optimistic about the success of this project. However, another issue lies in the lack of expertise of solar PV
and qualified technicians in rural areas. Knowledge of solar PV is limited to some companies, which are mostly
located in Maputo.
1.3.2
Financial
The financial key figures for renewable energy projects are:
■
Feed-In Tariff
The government of Mozambique has not announced incentives specifically for renewable energies yet.
Especially no feed-in tariff for PV exists up to now.
A draft of feed-in tariff law is under discussion since September 2013, and the expected announcement for
the beginning of 2014 is very much delayed. The proposed tariffs are likely to be reduced before approval,
as they are higher than needed (from: up to 10 kWp = 33.25 EURCt/kWh to 18.96EURCt/kWh for large
scale projects up to 10 MWp).
■
Other incentives
Apart from a feed-in tariff system, Mozambique has designed also other incentives in other areas, such as
encouraging investments in certain parts of the country, generating employment and promoting exports.
For this purpose, reduced taxes and custom duties are available.[3],[10]
■
FUNAE
A slightly different approach is taken by the governmental agency ‘Fundo de Energia’ (FUNAE) which has
been created to improve the rural electrification and access to energy for the Mozambican population. Its
5
approach is to supply financial aid and financial guarantees for projects that comply with the requirements
of FUNAE.
■
Value added Tax
The value-added tax (VAT) in 2014 amounts to 17 %.
■
Custom Duties
Custom duties are levied on the value of goods (including freight and insurance) classified according
Table 3. According to the TKN Report[9] page 19, it could be possible for PV projects to benefit from
exemptions from customs and VAT.

Bank Loans
So far most renewable energy projects were funded by donor organizations. At the national level, banks are
generally not familiar with the specifics of renewable energy projects. Therefore, a high risk perception has
been experienced: accordingly there is an extreme caution in granting loans. The general financing tenors
of 5 to 7 years do not match the typical requirements for renewable energy projects of 10 to 15 years or
more.[3]
Special interest rates for renewable energy projects are not known at the time of writing this report.
According to the Monthly Bulletin of the ‘Banco de Moçambique’, the actual interest rate for loans is 19.81%
(Annex A8).
Conclusion
Up to now the financing sector is not developed to support PV projects with favourable terms.
In Mozambique a direct promotion of technologies for the use of renewable energy and therewith PV does not exist
yet. A kind of support is given only by indirect measures, such as relief from custom duties and VAT, which also can
be used for conventional technologies. [3],[10]
1.4
Basic Findings of the Energy Audit
This subsector analysis is based on the energy audits of three
hotel facilities (Travessia, Massinga and Azura) located in the
coastal region of Inhambane and equipped with their own
power supply. These hotel facilities are more than 6 km away
from the medium voltage grid. A fourth hotel (Casa Rex)
examined is located in Vilanculos and has direct connection to
the medium voltage grid using an own transformer.
The hotel facilities are aimed at different categories of guests
with different requirements to equipment and air conditioning.
This results in different demands of electricity.

Classification of Hotel Facilities
The hotel facilities evaluated during the energy audit are all equipped with restaurant, kitchen, bar, lounge, central
pool, laundry area and staff quarters. The hotels operate their own water pumps for the water supply. The main
differences among the hotels are represented by the different use of air conditioning in the guest rooms. A
distinction can be made as it follows: facilities with no air conditioning, facilities with air conditioning during a
restricted time per day, and facilities with air conditioning without a restricted use. In rare cases the hotel facilities
operate cold rooms. In most cases they run refrigerators, deep-freezers or chest freezers. The water heating is
realized using decentralized gas. In one case a solar water heating system is installed.
Base on the energy audit, three basic scenarios have been identified regarding the different equipment features. The
scenarios are shown in Table 4 for the peak season. The outlined consumption values are defined according the
consumption of the corresponding hotel facilities.

Possible Applications for Solar PV-Systems
The discussions during the energy audit with owners and technicians of the hotel facilities have revealed different
issues with their actual power supply. Therefore, four possible applications for solar PV-systems have been assessed
and described as it follows:
8
1.6.1
PV-Island System
PV-Island systems or so called stand-alone PV-systems are
autonomous power grids that are supplied only with energy from
photovoltaic source. The PV generator as the source of renewable
energy is the crucial component of the stand-alone power system. It
can be coupled to the grid either as DC or as AC variant. For this
study, a distinction between these two types is not necessary.
To supply the grid with electricity during night time or to add
power to the grid in case the power of the PV-system is not
sufficient, a battery is used. The capacity of the battery is crucial for
covering the time without electricity.
The battery or stand-alone power inverter is the important part of
the AC coupled system. It ensures that generated and load power
are balanced at all times. For an emergency case, a diesel generator
Figure 6: PV-Island System Function [2]
could be implemented as backup-system.
1.6.2
PV-Backup System
The instability of the grid causes problems with computers and, in
case of long grid outages, it is not possible to keep refrigerated food
cooled. A PV-Backup system allows grid connected PV-systems to
achieve temporary independence from the public power grid. In the
event of a power outage, the backup system continues to provide
electricity to the in-house grid to ensure stable power supply for
office systems, cash systems, refrigerators, guest rooms and
lighting.
The system basically consists of a backup inverter, a PV system, and
Figure 7: Backup-System by Reference to the SMA
a storage battery. During normal operation, one or more solar Backup Solution [2]
inverters feed electricity from the PV system into the in-house or
public grid or charge the battery. The backup system will only activate in the event of a grid failure or outage. The
switching mechanism will then disconnect both PV system and power consumers from the public grid in
accordance with the applicable standards, while supply to the in-house grid continues from the battery.
1.6.3
PV-Diesel-Hybrid System (PV operating as Negative load)
The electricity price per kWh produced with diesel generators in off-grid applications exceeds the generating costs
of an optimized PV-system. To reduce the electricity production of the diesel generator, a PV-system can act as so
called negative load, which means that it reduces the load of the diesel generator without the need of additional
control for synchronizing the PV-system with the diesel generator.
The inverters of the PV-system are directly connected to the in-house grid. The PV-system feeds in the whole
produced electricity to the time of production and reduces the load of the diesel generator.
1.6.4
PV-Diesel-Hybrid System (PV operating as Main Resource)
Within the PV-diesel-hybrid system the PV-system is designed to
cover around 70% of the consumption, while the diesel generator
covers the remaining 30%. Batteries are used to optimize the
runtime of the diesel generator and to adapt the profile of the PV
production to the load-profile.
An additional power inverter with management functions is needed
to guarantee the stable operation of the power supply system even in
Figure 8: Block Diagram PV-Diesel-Hybrid System
(Main Ressource) [2]
9
case of that only the PV-system supplies the needed energy and the diesel generator is switched off. Battery,
generator, power and load management complement each other to provide a comprehensive system management.
All the necessary variables are measured or calculated by the power inverter. This ensures that no switching activity
or set point alteration will be left to chance.
1.7
Recommendations for Components
The important parameters for choosing the right components are weather conditions and availability of trained
technicians for installation and operations and maintenance. The impact can be described as follows.
■
PV modules
Inhambane is a province with high average temperatures and seasons with high humidity. The long term
average for global horizontal Irradiance is approx. 1,935 kWh/m² per year, which is very high. These
conditions have to be considered for selecting the right quality of modules. As important as the climatic
demands, it is the lack of trained technicians. Therefore the PV-systems should be designed as simple as
possible. Special requirements like grounding of the negative pole should be avoided.
■
Inverters
The type of the inverter depends on the principle design of the generator, for example grounding of the
negative pole. To ease the planning, the decision about the use of one or three phase inverters should
comply with the installed grid (230V / 400V). The choice of the inverter has to consider the climatic
demands and the lack of trained technicians. It should be nearly maintenance free.
■
Cabling
The irradiation in Mozambique is very high. Although solar cables are UV resistant, an additional
protection is recommended in case the cables are directly exposed to sunlight.
■
Structures
The structure could be built with local material or as steal construction usually used in Europe. Static
calculation should be provided.
All components should be resistant against salty air, because in most cases the hotel facilities are located at the
coast. Further considerations are based on PV-systems built with crystalline solar modules and string inverters.

2 End Clients and Structures
2.1
PV Sizing
The size of the possible PV-system depends on the consumption profile of the hotel facility and the requirements
defined above. The following issues have been considered:
■
To avoid grid instability greater than 20ms the PV-system used for the scenario ‘Backup’ has to switch to
off-grid operation within this time. Otherwise an additional UPS is necessary to secure computers against
switching of. The power rating of computers and refrigerators/deep-freezers are calculated with 0,5kW for
the scenario ‘Low consumption” and 1kW for the other ones. To secure this power rating and the recharge
of the batteries, the module power is set to twice the needed power rating. The size of the battery is
calculated to provide electricity for 24 hours without support of the PV-system.
■
The scenario ‘PV as negative load’ in a PV-diesel-hybrid system does not use special management devices to
synchronize diesel generator and PV-system. Sizing the PV-system is aimed to insure that the load demand
for the diesel generator is above the minimum possible part load named in the data sheet. For Azura the
minimum load during the day is 70kW. The minimum part load of the generator is 10 % of the maximum
200kW (=20 kW). The difference of 50kW can be provided by a PV-system. This is around 25 % of the
maximum generator power. For the calculations below the size of the PV-system is set to 20 % of the
maximum power. The maximum power of the base scenario ‘Low consumption’ is very low. Therewith the
maximum power calculated for a PV-system as ‘Negative load’ is too small for designing a valid PV-system.
■
The scenario ‘Main resource’ in a PV-diesel-hybrid system uses a special control device to optimize the use
of the diesel generator and the PV-system. To avoid frequent starts and stops of the generator, batteries are
needed. The calculation was made to generate around 70% of the yearly consumption using solar power
and to provide battery capacity for one day. The size of the PV-system and the battery are calculated
according to the recommendations of SMA[2]. For this calculation the efficiency of the system is assumed to
be 75%. The yearly output of the PV-system is calculated as 1,600kWh/kWp (compare Annex A1).
■
For the scenario ‘low consumption’ as main resource, an off-grid application only with PV and batteries has
been chosen.
The following table shows the sizing for the different scenarios:

System Cost PV-System and Battery-Systems
As outlined on page 5 the PV-system costs are 1,760EUR/kWp for calculating the capital expenditure of PV-systems
(see Table 6).
The capital expenditure for battery-systems varies extreme. On the one hand, the difference is caused by diverse
technologies; on the other hand, the spread within one technology is also high (see Annex A4). The cost for the
storing capacity of battery systems is calculated to be 730EUR/kWh. This value is used for creating Table 6. Base of
the following cost calculation is the system sizing shown in Table 5.

2.3
Payback Period of PV- and Battery-System
For the cost assessment of the scenario ‘backup’ one outage of the power-supply with a duration around one day is
assumed per year. The damage caused is assumed to be 500€ for a small hotel facility and 1,000€ for larger hotel
facilities. For the cost assessment of the scenarios ‘negative load’ and ‘main resource’ only the additional cost for the
PV-system and the battery-system was considered. The cost of the diesel generator for the conventional and the PVdiesel-hybrid systems is assumed to be equal. The payback period is calculated in comparison to the avoided fuel
and maintenance cost of the diesel generator.
To calculate the payback period, a price of 0.32EUR/kWh was assumed corresponding to the electricity prices of
diesel generators. For the calculation of the payback period, the following parameters were considered additionally:
■

Table 7: Overview Yearly Profit and Payback Period (Source: authors’ illustration)
The calculations above illustrates that it is possible to set up PV projects regarding economic aspects.
The calculation of the payback period and the yearly profit shows that it is profitable to implement PV-systems as
negative load to reduce the operation cost of diesel generator. The profitability is given in a short time.
Using PV-system with batteries as ‘Main Resource’ is profitable, too. The profitability is given in the medium term.
The payback time for a PV-system with batteries as ‘Backup’ is very long. In the medium term it is not profitable.
However, adding a backup-system to an unstable grid can reduce outages of electrical devices, like computers. In
addition, it can enhance the lifetime of electrical devices by reducing voltage peaks.
In grid connected hotels a PV-system can stabilize the internal hotel grid (load curve fits well to production curve of
solar PV). In off-grid applications, the time of electricity availability can be increased. Therefore, it is possible that
the decision of a hotel manager will not be driven only by economic aspects.

3 Conclusions and Recommendations
3.1
General Conclusions
In Mozambique the main precondition for the use of PV-systems, a high irradiation, is fulfilled. The solar
irradiation is very high, especially from October to March, which is the main season for tourism in Mozambique.
This gives reason to predict a lot of possibilities for setting up profitable PV projects in the tourism sector. However
photovoltaic is only one solution among many to provide energy to people in Mozambique. Because of this
competition among the different energetic sources, PV has to compete against conventional systems in order to win
a position in the market. An active promotion of PV as energetic technology (for example with a feed-in tariff
system) would change that situation but is not in place yet. In order to promote PV directly, the following policy
could be implemented:
■
No duty should be levied for imported components. This would be very helpful for financing PV projects, in
particular because the main components come from abroad.
Concerning the financial aspect, the general conditions for the financing PV projects with local banks support are
difficult, in particular for these main reasons:
■
The interest rates claimed by local banks are very high.
■
The repayment term does not fit to the usual lifetimes for PV-systems of 20 years
Therefore, it is necessary to find financing solutions independent from banks in Mozambique.
Moreover, it should be considered that most new projects in the tourism sector cannot be connected to the grid;
therefore an own power supply is needed (mainly it is used diesel generator). For such cases different applications
of PV are possible:
■
The use of PV is mostly profitable for applications that do not need a secured power supply for the entire
day. This could be the case for example of a power supply of water pumps, for water supply or pool pumps.
■
Especially for hotel facilities using air conditioning systems, a PV-system can take over a part of the load of
the diesel generator. In that case it acts as negative load, reducing both the use and the cost of the diesel
generator.
■
With an expected price decrease for battery systems in the next few years, it is expected that the PV-system
will become the most used energetic resource for off-grid solutions. In this new scenario, the diesel
generator will be used only as backup system.
It should be noted that only a few trained people are located in Mozambique, mainly in Maputo. Therefore, the PVsystems should be easy to maintain and it is recommended necessary training for people to maintain the systems.
The training is also useful for developing measures for rural electrification, which is a stated target of the
government.
Considering economic aspects, it is possible to implement PV-systems into the power production for off-grid
solutions. At the moment, a profitable solution is represented by the combination of PV-system and diesel
generator. In this combination the PV-system acts as negative load reducing the use and cost of the diesel
generator. With an expected price decrease for battery systems in the next few years, it is expected that the PVsystem will become the most used energetic resource for off-grid solutions. In this new scenario, the diesel
generator will be used only as backup system.
However, it has to be taken into account that a hotel normally has a very low interest in the production of
electricity. In such cases the focus is very much on the service to their guests. Thus, energy contracting could be the
best solution for implementing PV in the energy supply of hotels in Mozambique.

3.2
Recommendations for the Examined Hotel Facilities
According the findings above, the installation of a PV-system as negative load is a good option for Massinga and
Azura. In Azura the rooftop of the laundry and the staff canteen can be used to install approx. 20kWp for the first
step. The place is close to the main junction box that will reduce cable losses.
For Travessia the installation of a PV-system with battery is meaningful. The size of the PV-system is designed for a
system as main resource.
Casa Rex is connected to the grid. Using PV as negative load only is not seen as advisable. Casa Rex often suffers
from grid failures. Because of that, it can make sense to implement a PV-system with battery as backup system.
The energy of the PV-system not used for the backup function can be used to reduce the energy purchased from the
grid.
Table 8 shows the key figures for the hotel facilities examined, including energy values and recommendations for
sizing possible PV-systems.

To guess costs for battery systems (battery and controller) table 1 of “Kurzexpertise Wirtschaftlichkeit

calculating the total costs is the usable capacity, which differs from that on the nameplate. For example, the usable
storage capacity of a lead-acid battery with a nameplate capacity of 10kWh is around 5kWh only.

Table 10: Cost of Battery Systems According [4]
The spread of the given cost per capacity unit is huge. For Mozambique it can be assumed, that lead-acid batteries
will be used due to the investment cost. Therefore, the following considerations are for lead-acid batteries.
A validation of the costs for systems with lead-acid batteries given in Table 10 reveals an average cost reduction
around 10% until now.
Generally, one can assume a cost decrease with the size of the battery capacity due the fact one control-unit can
handle a greater amount of battery capacity as used for creating Table 10. For the named systems the share of the
controller is around 50% of the total cost. We assume that the decrease for systems with a storage capacity net
12kWh and above is around 60%. With this, the average cost for the storage capacity net of systems with lead-acid
batteries is around 730EUR/kWh.

A6. Pay Back Period
The payback period for off grid systems is basically influenced by the cost of electricity caused by the use of the
diesel generator. For this assessment it was assumed a fixed price per unit of electricity (EUR/kWh). The following
Table 12 shows the results using 0.32EUR/kWh without price increase. The interest rate considered the possibility
to get loans outside Mozambique. The calculation considered the use of 100% debt capital.
