Mozambique is moving from advisory to execution on the 1,500MW Mphanda Nkuwa hydropower project on the Zambezi River, after selecting a strategic investor consortium led by EDF, alongside TotalEnergies and Sumitomo Corporation, who together hold a 70 percent stake against 30 percent for state utilities EDM and HCB. A February 2026 technical workshop with the African Development Bank focused on operationalising a credit enhancement facility and a Partial Risk Guarantee to de-risk the roughly $5 billion project and attract international lenders. While the strategic sponsor is locked in, the debt financing package, EPC contractor selection, and the associated regional transmission line remain open, with AfDB support shifting explicitly from advisory into deal execution.
