It will indeed strengthen energy supply in the Beira corridor, increase the central stability and reduce the impact of black-outs when the 220kv transmission line Matambo-Catandica-Chitaba is unavailable. It will also avoid 200 000 tonnes CO2 eq per year of Greenhouse Gas emissions. The outcome will therefore positively contribute to the high-level programmes 1 (hydroelectric power development) and 2 (expansion and improvement of the national electricity grid) of the Energy Transition Strategy."}, {"bbox": [96, 417, 1160, 730], "category": "Text", "text": "Outcome 2: the successful construction of the transmission line Nampula – Angoche and the line Massinga – Vilanculos, including the environmental and social dimension, will improve quality of provision and enable the supply of clean electricity to new EDM customers in the Centre and North of the country. The transmission line Nampula – Angoche will indeed increase the reliability of the power system in the North as well as the availability of power in the District of Angoche to enhance the connection of new customers under the Energy for All programme as well as mining (Kenmare Titanium mining) and fisheries activities. The transmission line Massinga – Vilanculos, will introduce an alternative route if the existing line is out of service, which will considerably increase the reliability of energy supply by providing shorter interruptions in the supply compared to the present system. It will also extend the existing Southern Grid further North towards a future integration of Southern and Central Grid systems, usefull to unify the network countrywide.

The re-establishment of reliable electricity in northern Cabo Delgado will greatly improve the lives of local communities and boost socio-economic activities.
