2022 Just Energy Transition Conference Report_ENG
With the slogan “Leaving no one behind”, the CDD Just Energy Transition Conference held in Maputo on July 21, 2022, has tracked the challenges and opportunities on energy access and energy transition in Mozambique. Almost 20 speakers from relevant fields contributes and discussed on the promotion of equality of opportunity and social inclusion in investing in affordable, decentralised mixed-energy systems. They remarked on the dimension of inclusion in the energy transition, the youth/gender perspectives and the role of civil society on the ground. How to accelerate access to energy in Mozambique, intensify the deployment of renewable energy, and achieve economic growth? This was one of the main issues discussed on the panels designed scenarios for a transformational policy, implications of international measures on the domestic economy and opportunity to diversify the economy.

PANEL 2: POLICY CHANGE<br />
From left to right: Jocelyne Machevo (<strong>Energy</strong> Specialist), Eng. Felisbela Cunhete (Member of the Board of Directors of ARENE), Filipe Mondlane (Advisor to the Board of Directors of FUNAE), Mayra<br />
Pereira (Member of the AMER Board)<br />
This panel was facilitated by energy<br />
expert Jocelyne Machevo and aimed<br />
to discuss the adequacy of policies<br />
for a just energy transition. The main<br />
speakers were Felisbela Cunhete<br />
(Member of the Board of Directors of<br />
ARENE), Filipe Mondlane (Advisor to<br />
the FUNAE Board of Directors) and<br />
Mayra Pereira (AMER Board<br />
Member).<br />
The panel discussed how to<br />
accelerate access to energy in<br />
Mozambique, intensifying the<br />
deployment of renewable energy and<br />
achieving economic growth, for a just<br />
and more inclusive energy transition.<br />
Some of the topics developed<br />
included institutional reforms, the<br />
regulatory framework, technical<br />
support to the private sector and its<br />
approximation to the state institutions<br />
that regulate the sector.<br />
In the presentation session of<br />
transformational actions, GIZ and<br />
SNV presented their support<br />
mechanisms.<br />
There are four programmes in the<br />
GIZ <strong>Energy</strong> Cluster: Energising<br />
Development (EnDev), GBE,<br />
GET.invest and GET.transform. In<br />
2009 EnDev started its activities with<br />
three components: solar energy,<br />
micro-hydro and grid densi cation,<br />
and in 2013 in the<br />
eld of clean<br />
cooking. In 2019, three new<br />
programmes started: GBE,<br />
GET.invest and GET.transform.<br />
BRILHO is a ve-year programme<br />
(2019–2024) that will catalyse<br />
Mozambique’s o -grid energy market<br />
in order to provide a ordable clean<br />
energy solutions to the country’s o -<br />
grid population.<br />
The overall objective of BRILHO is<br />
to improve the lives of low-income<br />
people through savings, well-being<br />
and livelihood opportunities.<br />
BRILHO o ers selected companies<br />
a unique combination of nonrepayable<br />
structured nance and<br />
specialised support for risky<br />
commercial initiatives aimed at<br />
achieving competitive commercial<br />
returns by providing o -grid energy<br />
solutions for low-yield markets.<br />
Additionally, it supports the<br />
development of the sector’s<br />
ecosystem, improving access to<br />
information, stimulating demand,<br />
establishing quality benchmarks and<br />
supporting the development of a<br />
more consistent regulatory<br />
framework.<br />
