Mozambique/Malawi: Interconnection revived

Prospects for revival of a project to build an interconnector between Mozambique and Malawi have been boosted with the presentation of an economic feasibility study for the scheme in Maputo on 27 June. The project dates back to 1998 when an initial memorandum was signed. Studies were completed and financing put together for the project in 2007, but it ran into political difficulties as relations between the two states soured in the later part of Bingu wa Mutharika’s presidency.
