US-based contractor HDR International has been selected to conduct a feasibility study for a solar energy project in Mozambique.

The study will assess the viability of a photovoltaic plant of up to 100 MW, to be developed in increments of 20 MW to 40 MW.

The plant will be located at Nacala International Airport, in Nampula, and will be Mozambique’s largest when it reaches its full capacity. A key feature is an energy storage facility with up to 50 MW capacity, which will be located adjacent to the plant.

The US Trade and Development Agency has granted Mozambique company WHN Solar $1.2-million to develop the project.

African independent investment bank Fieldstone will assist WHN Solar with the grant funding and will serve as project development and financial adviser.

In addition to HDR, various other US firms will assist with the engineering, geotechnical and energy support, while environmental and social work streams will also be undertaken.

Mozambique entities include Couto, Graça e Associados, providing legal counsel, and Norconsult Mozambique, which will assist with a grid study.
