Background

According to a March 2016 report, an MoU was signed between Mozambique and Zambia for a 1,200 MW coal plant in Nacala, the city in Nampula province where Mozambique's Nacala port is located. The plant would also power Zambia. A report in July 2016 placed the jointly sponsored 1200 MW coal plant in Mozambique's Tete province rather than in Nacala.

However, there have been no developments since the March 2016 announcement, and the project appears to be shelved.
