COVID-19 Health and Education Facilities

In Mozambique, Scatec recycled and converted containers from site into health and education facilities in order to respond to the consequences of Covid-19 in the community.

The challenge

Covid-19 negatively impacted the lives of the people and communities living around our Mocuba solar plant. Due to a lack of infrastructure in the sectors, our local communities lacked proper health and education facilities. We also wanted to recycle building materials and containers from site that were used during the construction phase.

How we worked together:

A local company was contracted to refurbish the containers, converting them into 7 health facilities and 2 education facilities. The upgraded facilities adhere to Covid-19 recommendations and reduce pressure on existing facilities.
