Angola has completed seven major solar plant network as part of its renewable energy initiative with the inauguration of Bailundo Photovoltaic Park in Huambo. This marks the final phase of a seven-plant network designed to supply renewable electricity to around 2.4 million people.
Angola has significant solar potential; it is estimated that the country has 16.3 GW of solar power resources. The Ministry of Energy and Water has identified sites and is actively moving towards commissioning new facilities.
This marks the final phase of a seven-plant network designed to supply renewable electricity to around 2.4 million people. The 370 MW solar PV project, developed by Portuguese firm MCA Group with Sun Africa, is central to Angola’s plan to expand electricity access. It also aims to reduce diesel use and lower carbon emissions.
These initiatives are backed by President João Lourenço, who at COP26 in November 2021 stated that Angola aims to source 70% of its energy from renewables by 2025. The solar projects include those connected to the grid and smaller off-grid developments to electrify isolated communities in Angola.
The positive impacts of the new solar system extend beyond the project itself. Although the Angolan network used to receive clean hydropower earlier, the solar transition will enable the network to rely less heavily on Cambambe and other hydropower plants.
Among current developments is a mega-project consisting of seven photovoltaic plants that will be commissioned by Q2 2023 and additional projects funded by the Angolan and US governments. Angola has significant solar potential; it is estimated that the country has 16.3 GW of solar power resources.
