The inauguration of the thermal plant, a private investment, cost about 3.5 million dollars and in a first phase, will produce 4.8 MW.
However, the Minister of Industry and Trade, Silvino Moreno said it is the government’s expectation that the inauguration of the thermal plant will be reflected in the reduction of production costs with impact on the price of cement to the consumer.
Silvino Moreno believes that the bet of the private sector on local raw material will allow a greater exploitation of the regional market and the free trade zone of the African continent that Mozambique joined.
For Moreno, Mozambique will save foreign exchange and reduce the volume of imports, thus giving greater value to local raw materials, one of the assumptions of the National Industrialize Mozambique program.
The inauguration ceremony of this enterprise, was attended by the Secretary of State in the province of Maputo, Vitória Diogo and the Turkish Ambassador to Mozambique, Huseyin Aksoy.
