The US International Development Finance Corp (DFC) approved a loan of as much as $99-million to help finance Mozambique’s first utility-scale wind-power project. DFC will also provide $80-million in political risk insurance to Globeleq Africa, which is developing the 120 MW project near Namaacha in the south of the nation, the lender said in an emailed statement Tuesday. The project will require a total of about $268-million in funding, according to the DFC’s website.
