06 May 2026 CW Team

PROLER, launched on 30 September 2020, is designed to increase electricity generation capacity and to foster private investment in solar and wind projects. Funding for projects under the programme has been secured from the European Union through the Agence Française de Développement. The programme aims to select independent power producers for projects with a combined capacity of around 120 MW.

The Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy has issued a pre-qualification tender to identify experienced private investors to develop, finance, design, construct, operate and maintain the plant. ARENE will manage the selection through a competitive tender with pre-qualification and enforce a strong requirement for local participation by bidders. The invitation to submit proposals is expected to be issued in the second half of 2026.

Interested bidders may obtain the complete set of pre-qualification documents from ARENE offices during normal working hours or by emailing concurso-proler@arene.org.mz. Provision of documents is subject to a non-refundable fee of MZN 20,000 (twenty thousand meticais or $315 USD), payable by deposit or bank transfer to the specified account. The process documentation will set out technical, financial and local content requirements.

The programme prioritises competitive and transparent public tenders to identify investors with the necessary technical and financial capacity and an interest in delivering lower-cost solutions for consumers. The project reiterates the government objective to broaden the renewable energy base and to attract development finance backed by international partners. Further details on timelines and contract conditions will be provided in the tender documents.
