EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Chibuto Solar Power Plant is a flagship renewable energy generation project promoted by SAL Energia, with an installed capacity of 95 MWac (equivalent to 112 MWp). Located in the Gaza province, this initiative contributes significantly to strengthening the national electricity grid with a clean, reliable and resilient source, in line with the national objectives for modernising the sector.

With an investment exceeding 150 million US dollars, the project represents a strategic participation opportunity for institutional and private investors who value business models aligned with ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles, simultaneously promoting inclusive economic growth and social enhancement.

Aligned with the goals of the Government of Mozambique under PROENERGIA and the objective of universal electrification by 2030, the Chibuto Solar Power Plant stands as a fundamental pillar of regional energy development, consolidating Mozambique's role in electricity production from renewable sources in Southern Africa.

SAL Energia is honoured to present the 95 MW Chibuto Solar Power Plant Project (capacity to be expanded to 150 MW in a subsequent phase), a structuring project that combines innovation, environmental responsibility and social inclusion, serving a more prosperous future for all Mozambicans.

This is a project that fits into the vision of making Mozambique a prosperous, competitive and sustainable country, where energy plays a crucial role. Firstly, by supplying the domestic market, reducing production costs in strategic sectors to make national producers more competitive and the economy more attractive to investors in the region. Secondly, by improving access to energy and making it accessible to the general population.

SAL Energia, in its commitment to exploring the energy potential from hydro, solar, wind and biomass sources, seeks through this Chibuto Power Plant Project to promote the increase of national renewable energy production capacity to meet domestic demand and, at the same time, explore export opportunities to neighbouring countries in the region.

The Chibuto Solar Power Plant represents a structural milestone in Mozambique's trajectory towards a cleaner, more modern and resilient energy system. This project is a concrete expression of our commitment to transforming the energy sector, based on a strategic focus on clean sources such as solar energy abundant and with a high potential for change.

This investment by SAL Energia will contribute to achieving a more sustainable energy matrix, helping to increase security in energy supply. By strengthening national electricity generation capacity, diversifying sources and reducing dependence on fossil fuels, this initiative contributes not only to economic growth and the creation of local opportunities but also to positioning Mozambique as a regional benchmark in the renewable energy sector.

At SAL Energia, we are proud to do our part for the growth of Mozambique.
