Developed by Lumira Moz Energy, a Chinese company investing in Mozambique, the project is designed to establish a vertically integrated industrial base for the production of photovoltaic cells, precision cutting of silicon wafers and manufacturing of high-efficiency solar modules.
The facility will occupy approximately 1.6 hectares within Beluluane Industrial Park and will be developed in two phases. Investment in the first phase alone exceeds USD 10 million.
Rather than importing only finished solar equipment, the project creates the potential for more of the manufacturing process to take place in Mozambique, supporting industrial diversification, specialised skills development and the growth of a domestic clean-energy supply chain.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Minister of Economy Basílio Muhate highlighted: “The Lumira Moz Energy project is completely aligned with the Government’s vision for economic diversification and for strengthening Mozambique’s position as an industrial hub for energy products and technologies. Lumira has also chosen the best location in the country for this investment: MozParks Beluluane Industrial Park, with the infrastructure and regulatory framework needed to support industrial development.”

For Maputo Province, the investment adds a new technology-driven industry to an already established manufacturing base.
Governor of Maputo Province Manuel Tule said: “Beluluane Industrial Park is very important for Maputo Province. It has created an industrial base that brings investment, jobs and economic activity to the province. Even in a period of significant market changes, including those affecting Mozal and the aluminium sector, Beluluane continues to grow, attract new industries and create new opportunities. The arrival of Lumira is another example of that continued development.”
Operated by MozParks, Beluluane Industrial Park has developed over more than 26 years into Mozambique’s largest industrial hub. Today, the 700-hectare park hosts more than 70 companies and supports over 10,000 direct jobs across manufacturing, agro-processing, technology, logistics and industrial services.
Its location gives companies access to the N4 regional transport corridor, the ports of Maputo and Matola and neighbouring South African and Eswatini markets, while industrial infrastructure and reliable power have supported the park’s expansion into increasingly diverse sectors. The arrival of Lumira MozEnergy represents another step in that diversification.
Onório Manuel, CEO of MozParks, said the investment is particularly important because of the industrial capability it brings to Mozambique.
“Lumira brings a new manufacturing activity to Beluluane and adds solar technology to the Park’s industrial base. Our role is to make it easier for investors to establish and operate in Mozambique. In this case, through close coordination with the Municipality of Matola-Rio, the necessary administrative procedures and documentation for the start of the project were completed within 48 hours. This is the kind of practical support MozParks provides to its partners so that investments can move from decision to implementation as efficiently as possible.”

Deng Junfeng, General Director of Lumira Moz Energy, highlighted the company’s experience working with MozParks during the establishment of the project.
“We are very impressed by the way MozParks works and by the support we have received throughout this process. This is exactly the kind of efficient and practical environment Chinese investors are looking for when considering opportunities in Africa. Based on our experience, we would confidently recommend MozParks to other Chinese companies interested in investing and establishing operations in Mozambique.”
