The most appropriate technology to harness the solar resource in Angola is the production of electricity through photovoltaic systems. This technology currently presents the fastest ºinstallation time (less than 1 year) and lowest maintenance costs.
An agreement for the development of a 150 MW solar plant was signed between Angola’s Ministry of Energy and Water and UAE-based renewable energy company Masdar in Dubai last December. The 150 MW project will produce electricity to power 90,000 homes, contributing to job creation, emissions reduction and efforts to increase national electrification.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) development aligns with the Angola Energy 2025 long-term plan, whose primary goal is to foster inclusive and sustainable growth of the country and provide basic energy services to the entire Angolan population.
Located in Lubango, the capital of Angola’s Huíla Province, commercial operations of the 35 MW solar plant are expected by the end of 2023. The three stakeholdersare uniting to finance, construct and operate the plant, which holds an estimated cost of $82 million.
The Angolan government is supporting the development of several new solar power projects, in an effort to accelerate the country’s energy transition and reduce reliance on diesel- and coal-fired power generation.
