Malawi’s energy future looks brighter with the Mpatamanga Hydropower Storage Project (MHSP). Set to more than double the country’s electricity capacity, this public-private partnership involves the World Bank, European Investment Bank, and others. Once completed, it will power homes and businesses, reducing reliance on erratic supply. For tech startups in Blantyre, stable electricity could unlock growth. Yet, funding delays and environmental concerns pose risks. As Malawi pushes for industrialization under its 2063 Vision, MHSP could be the spark that drives digital innovation and economic growth.
