Mozambique is one of the largest producers of electricity in the southern African region, ranking second, with an average power generation of 2 279 mega watts (MW). It is second only to South Africa, which is by far the largest regional producer in Africa and one of the largest in the world, with 41 074 MW. Despite generating enough energy to supply current domestic consumption and export needs, Mozambique is the fourth country in the region with the least access to electricity by citizens. Just over 20% of the Mozambican population normally uses electricity. This figure is far below the regional average (SADC), which is around 37% (2013/14).
