The report focuses on hydropower, solar photovoltaic (PV) and biofuels— the most common renewable energy sources in the country. By analyzing the investment incentives available, and drawing on insights from representatives of government and industry, it suggests some initial findings on the extent to which Mozambique’s investment incentives are effective and affordable means to encourage the development of renewable energy. The report then identifies further research that could usefully be conducted in this area.
