Temane power station is a 525 MW gas power station in Inhambane, Mozambique. It is operated by Temane Energy Consortium [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 591k homes (estimated). It ranks #8 of 22 Mozambique power plants by installed capacity. In context, gas supplies about 15.8% of Mozambique's electricity; the national grid averages 129 gCO₂/kWh (83.4% low-carbon) (2024).

At 525 MW, Temane power station is well above the median gas plant in Mozambique (175 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG); Siemens Energy: SGT-800. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 21.8°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
