The Associação Moçambicana de Energias Renováveis (AMER) in Maputo has expressed concern over a decrease in off-grid energy connections. This decline threatens progress towards universal energy access in Mozambique. AMER highlighted the importance of maintaining and expanding these connections, particularly for rural communities currently relying on these systems. The association did not specify the causes of the reduction, but warned of potential negative impacts on households and businesses. Further investigation is needed to determine the factors contributing to the diminished connection rates. AMER is advocating for continued investment and support for off-grid renewable energy solutions in Mozambique. The situation requires immediate attention to prevent setbacks in electrification efforts.
