The Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME), through its National Director of International Planning and Cooperation, Marcelina Joel, reaffirmed, on Wednesday (22), the need to attract more investments for the development and sustainable use of the energy sector, in order to respond to the lack of infrastructure and to facilitate public access to energy resources. The Government considers this to be essential to boost economic growth and ensure balanced development.
" Energy is a fundamental pillar of our country's economic and social progress, because no progress is sustainable without a reliable, accessible and responsible energy system," said the person responsible.
Marcelina Joel spoke during the opening of the Annual Conference of the Association of Energy Regulators of Portuguese Language Countries (Relop), held in Maputo, where she recognized that the limitation of energy infrastructure remains a significant challenge for Mozambique, conditioning universal access to energy.
"So our priority continues to focus on the attraction of investment for the development and sustainable use of national energy resources, so that all citizens can benefit from them at affordable prices," added the director.
The representative of the Ministry also highlighted the importance of regulation as a strategic instrument for the government. He said, "regulation allows the creation of conditions that guarantee legal certainty, regulatory predictability and respect for the public interest, essential elements to attract and protect investment.
