In cooperation with Snow Leopard Projects (SLP), Theodora Forbes has gathered her knowledge in an investment analysis, which outlines the current framework conditions for investments in all types of renewable energy generation and distribution in Mozambique. The report gives potential investors an overview of the investment climate and process by presenting the government´s energy strategy, key players and important statistics. In order to make a realistic investment approach possible, Forbes analyses barriers to investment and other possible challenges to renewable energy generation, for both on- and off-grid projects. Specific regulations, financial incentives and investment risks are outlined in this process. The report takes into consideration the on-site investment climate and process and provides a step-by-step guide for anyone interested in renewable energy investments.
Theodora Forbes graduated from the University of Reading with a master’s degree in Agricultural Development Economics. After working in several energy-related enterprises in Great Britain and Germany, she got involved with the Aga Khan Foundation in Mozambique as Programme Manager for New Initiatives in 2014.

With a unique BATCH Hydrolyser for biological front end treatment the biomass is prepared to deliver highest biogas yields even from low grade feedstock.
Because of the extremely precise examination of the topic, this publication can be seen as a high quality guideline for renewable energy related investment choices in Mozambique.
