Mozambique: Midal Cables enters production

Bahrain-based Midal Cables group has started production at its new aluminium and aluminium alloy rod, wire and conductor factory in Matola, operated by local subsidiary Midal Cables International Limitada. The plant will initially focus on supplying major transmission and other projects in Mozambique and the wider Southern African Development Community region, Midal Cables director Rashid Al-Zayani told the Africa Energy Forum in Dubai on 10 June. Midal has proposed recycling old conductors from state utility Electricidade de Moçambique’s grid to modernise the transmission network at much cheaper cost, Zayani said.
