According to a March 2016 report, an MoU was signed between Mozambique and Zambia for a 1,200 MW coal plant in Nacala, the city in Nampula province where Mozambique's Nacala port is located. The plant would also power Zambia.[1] A report in July 2016 placed the jointly sponsored 1200 MW coal plant in Mozambique's Tete province rather than in Nacala.[2]
In August 2019, it was reported that China Energy Engineering Corporation and Moroccan port and civil engineering specialist Somagec Mozambique will build a 200 MW coal-fired power station in Nacala. The estimated cost is US$355 million. Operation is planned for 2022. Coal will be supplied by Vale Moçambique from Moatize, Tete province. An Environmental Pre-Feasibility and Scoping Study has been submitted.[3]
