The Mavuzi Hydroelectric Power Station is an operational 41 megawatts (55,000 hp) hydroelectric power project in Mozambique.The power plant, first established in 1957, [1] underwent upgrades and rehabilitation in 2017, adjusting its generating capacity, from 52 megawatts to 41 megawatts, with prolongation of its lifespan by another thirty years.
From independence until 2007, eighteen percent share of the dam and lake was owned by Mozambique and eighty-two percent by Portugal. [3] Portugal sold down its share to 15 percent in 2007.
