Joining President Chapo will be key stakeholders from Mozambique’s energy sector, including Marcelina Mataveia (National Director of Energy), Joaquim Ou-chim (CEO of Electricidade de Moçambique – EDM), Isalia Dimene Munguambe (Chairwoman of FUNAE, Mozambique’s Fund for Energy), Tomás Matola (Chairperson of Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric – HCB) and Carlos Yum (Director-General of Mphanda Nkuwa Hydroelectric Project Implementation Office – GMNK).

With around 150 participants expected, RENMOZ in Europe will be a high-level investment forum showcasing a high-quality investment pipeline covering on-grid, transmission and off-grid projects in Mozambique.

According to the organisers, by breaking down the different business opportunities across the projects’ value chain, the forum intends to connect European expertise, technology and finance with Mozambique’s energy project pipeline, strengthening procurement quality, fostering joint bidding and accelerating investment in clean energy infrastructure. The event will facilitate high-quality networking opportunities to connect investors, financiers and private sector partners. RENMOZ in Europe is organised by the Lusophone Renewable Energy Association (ALER) and the Mozambican Renewable Energy Association (AMER), supported by GET.invest, with the institutional backing of the Mozambican public authorities and financial contributions from the European Union, Germany, Sweden and Belgium.
