UAE's Jampur Group to Revive Mozambique Solar Panel Factory

· Energy · Mozambique · United Arab Emirates

Mozambique has selected UAE-based Jampur Group to manage and modernize the Beluluane Solar Panel Factory, which suspended production around 2022 due to technological limitations and market competition. The initiative aims to revive domestic solar panel manufacturing, improve competitiveness and create local employment. The factory's revival would give Mozambique a domestic module supply source as solar deployment expands across Africa, where most panels are currently imported. Details on investment size, production capacity and timelines were not disclosed in the item.

Why it matters：Reviving local module production in Africa tests whether domestic manufacturing can compete with cheap imports as the continent's solar demand grows.

Key points

  • The Beluluane factory halted production around 2022.
  • Jampur Group will manage and modernize the plant.
  • The project is meant to improve competitiveness and create local jobs.
