Description: This report assesses investment incentives in Mozambique and their impact on renewable energy. While the vast majority of Mozambique’s investment incentives are not targeted specifically at renewable energy, many are broad enough in scope and coverage to have an impact on the sector. 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.
