A consortium of international energy and engineering firms has been picked as preferred developer of a $4.5-billion run-of-river hydropower project in Mozambique.
French firms TotalEnergies and Électricité de France S.A (EDF) as well as Japan’s Sumitomo Corp. will construct the 1,500-MW hydropower facility on the 2,574-km Zambezi River system, Africa fourth longest river after the Nile, Congo, and Niger rivers.
