The Global Clean Power Alliance (GCPA) Finance Mission is a timebound initiative, backed by a coalition of donor countries, philanthropies and delivery partners[footnote 1]. It is designed to respond to specific requests for assistance from its Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDE) partners, collaborating with them to ensure they have the right people, tools and capabilities to undertake high quality energy investment planning[footnote 2], and to build a pipeline of bankable projects to accelerate the implementation of clean energy transition goals.  

The Government of Mozambique (GoM) has developed a 2023 Energy Transition Strategy (ETS) based on 4 pillars, namely: modern energy system based on renewable energy sources; green industrialisation; universal access to modern energy (by 2030); and adoption of clean energy for transport. GoM has also developed the Mozambique Mission 300 Compact aligning to the universal access pillar of the ETS[footnote 3]. The GoM is implementing the updated Electricity Law 2022 that should ease the involvement of the private sector in developing integrated renewable energy systems, by promoting the simplification of processes and the acceleration of deadlines. 

With this in mind, and in response to specific requests for assistance received from the Government of Mozambique in the clean energy sector, the GCPA Finance Mission and its partners commit to making the fullest and best endeavours to implement the following initial set of priority actions through to COP32:

1. Country platform, investment plan and pipeline:

a. In response to specific requests, provide dedicated locally sourced and internationally supported private finance experts to work within the Mozambique structures (such as the Access or Transition Units) to support the delivery of the Mozambique Energy Transition Strategy, strengthen clean energy investment planning processes and to help coordinate and align GCPA Finance Mission support most effectively in line with GoM wishes

b. Provide demand-responsive capacity building to strengthen in-country structures taking forward the Mozambique Energy Transition Strategy to a high-quality investment plan, identifying where private or public financing is most appropriate, and improving the successful mobilisation of private finance

2. Private finance capacity and capability-building:

a. Design and implement a bespoke set of continuous training programmes for policy-makers, regulators and private finance practitioners to help plug capability gaps on the mobilisation of private finance and agreed related areas such as tendering, to support the implementation of the Electricity Law 2022, and share best practice and lessons learned effectively in line with the best and most appropriate global standards

3. Project readiness, bankability support:

a. Agree a short-list of priority clean energy projects (e.g. hydropower, wind, solar, transmission and grids) for focused and tailored project readiness and bankability support[footnote 4], with a view to accelerating progressions towards Final Investment Decision (FID)

The GCPA Finance Mission will coordinate and deliver the activities, working with the Green Finance Institute and World Bank in close partnership and with GoM’s nominated local partners. GoM will designate the focal person(s) for this Programme. At all times, the GCPA Finance Mission will work in spirit of equal partnership, collaboration and respect with the GoM. The Finance Mission will always endeavour to work flexibly with GoM’s existing activities and delivery partners to ensure its activities are well-coordinated, additional and complementary. The Finance Mission will seek to mobilise and work with local expertise, resources and capacities wherever possible.

This Action Plan will remain a live document, with opportunity to update the details, scope and breadth of support as work unfolds and in accordance with demand from the GoM. A formal review and update of this Action Plan will take place by COP31.

  3. Significant progress has been made in the last decade on access to energy, however as of the ETS 2023, only 51% of the population has access to energy. ↩

  4. Subject to the expert scrutiny, feedback and recommendations, this support could include any or all of the following support activities: formal market soundings to provide bespoke project bankability assessments and recommendations; support applications to sources of concessional finance where needed; legal contracting; EIAs; licensing support; financial modelling; establishing rates of return; late-stage feasibility studies, financial instrument design, and more. ↩
