In Mozambique, the rural electrification rate reached only 27% as the extension of electricity grids has proven to be technically difficult, very costly and sometimes an inefficient solution due to the remoteness and sparse population density. The agricultural sector -one of the most important sectors of the economy- faces serious challenges in accessing electricity and other forms of modern energy forcing it to rely on expensive diesel, firewood and/or charcoal for its operations. Even though it has been estimated that Mozambique has a potential of 7 GW on renewable projects, the use of modern energy for productive uses is still very limited. As such, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) –as an implementing agency of the Global Environment Facility (GEF)- and the Government of Mozambique are implementing the project "Towards sustainable energy for all in Mozambique: Promoting market-based dissemination of integrated renewable energy systems for productive activities in rural areas" which seeks –among other outcomes– to demonstrate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of renewables in productive sectors including agriculture and agro-food processing industries.
