Company

Dear User,


On behalf of the Board of Directors that, with much honour I chair, and of all the Staff and Collaborators, I would like to greet the Esteemed Visitor of Electricidade de Moçambique, E.P. Website and to thank you for the time and interest that in this way you give us.

As you certainly know, EDM is a Mozambican company with a noble and challenging mission of taking energy to all the points of our Mozambique. It is effectively a rewarding mission of this pillar institution for the development of our Country, and, as a result, our slogan is Lighting the Transformation of Mozambique.

During the past 41 years of its creation, EDM’s entire commitment, concentration and resources have been made for the attainment of this national objective. As a result of this engagement, today, 151 of the existing 154 district headquarters in the Country are interconnected to the National Power Grid and the remaining three are in the process of their completion. From the 431 Administrative Posts, 258 (60%) are electrified and the other 14 have projects in progress to be electrified. Thus, 159 Administrative Posts (37%) are still to be electrified and this will happen very soon. Today we have 1,641,151 clients, corresponding to an Electrification Rate of 28%.

Obviously these indicators are low and do not please us, and it is our goal for the Universal Access to Energy by 2030. Many millions of Mozambicans do not yet have energy. The progress of Mozambique continues to be postponed many times because of the lack of energy. Consequently, we have permanent challenges and concerns.

We will continue with increasing determination for the attainment of the objectives set to us under different guiding instruments of the fight against poverty that we have today in Mozambique.

We are aware that the services that we are providing need increasing improvement. We have been doing a lot in this sense, ranging from huge investments in the rehabilitation and upgrading of our power grids, provision of more useful training to our staff and the improvement and expansion of our infra-structures.

In search of this most noble mission of contributing and lighting the development of our beautiful Mozambique, we would like to count with our dear visitor – client of EDM or those who are not clients, with suggestions, ideas, criticisms or denunciations. This space can be an interaction vehicle. We would also like to receive ideas about how we can improve the work that we do; criticisms about what we are not doing effectively. And, as they affect all of us, we are also open to receive denunciations about thefts or vandalisms of electric infra-structures as well as corruption in any of our services.

EDM is not a company for those working in it. It is for all Mozambicans and, in that way, all of them have the patriotic way of making their contribution.
