The ENH Chairperson commended the GMNK team for their commitment to implementing the project sustainably. She emphasised the importance of a methodical and thorough approach, even if time-consuming, as essential for the project’s long-term success. Bernardo also shared suggestions for enhancing the project’s outcomes and expressed openness to building synergies between ENH and GMNK on shared objectives.

The meeting underscored a shared commitment to ensuring the Mphanda Nkuwa project aligns with Mozambique’s energy transition goals and socio-economic priorities.
The Mphanda Nkuwa project represents a key initiative in Mozambique’s push for energy transition and sustainable development. By fostering collaboration between ENH and GMNK, the project aims to address environmental concerns, drive socio-economic growth, and enhance Mozambique’s energy infrastructure, ensuring long-term benefits for local communities and the country’s energy landscape.
