    The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) report shows that last year, nearly two-thirds of the world's renewable energy power generation costs were lower than the cheapest fossil fuels, and the power generation amount reached 162 GW



    At present, the cost of renewable energy technology continues to decline.



    As the start-up and operating costs of renewable energy projects decrease, renewable energy sources are becoming more and more attractive



    In the past ten years, the cost of solar photovoltaic power generation has fallen by 85%, the cost of CSP has fallen by 68%, the cost of onshore wind power has fallen by 56%, and the cost of offshore wind power has fallen by 48%



    Therefore, IRENA estimates that coal-fired power plants will be eliminated and renewable energy will be replaced.



    About three-quarters of Mozambique's electricity comes from hydroelectric power, and about 1% comes from solar power



    At present, Kuamba in northern Mozambique is building a solar power plant with a capacity of 19 megawatts



    In September last year, the Mozambican government invited independent operators to build 40 MW solar power plants in Dondo (Sofara Province), Lichinga (Niassa Province) and Manje (Tete Province), as well as in Iyambane Province.
