Electricidade de Moçambique, E.P. (EDM-E.P. or simply EDM) is a state-owned energy company of Mozambique, which deals with the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity. EDM was incorporated in 1995 after the privatization of the state-managed enterprise Electricidade de Moçambique, Empresa Estatal (EDM-E.E.), which had been set up in 1977, two years after the independence of Mozambique, by the new government of the People's Republic of Mozambique led by the FRELIMO party. In 1977, EDM emerged from the amalgamation of twenty-five separate generation and distribution units geographically dispersed across Mozambique.
