Matala – At least 200 billion kwanzas have been spent this year by the Angolan government for the acquisition of technology to build 26 new solar power plants and their transmission network, the minister of Energy and Water, João Baptista Borges, has said.

According to the minister, the amount comes from a financing agreement signed with the United States of America this year, through the Sana-Afcrica group, whose aim is to  make more clean energy available.

 

Speaking to the press on the sidelines of the launch of the Gove/Matala high voltage line, the minister said the government is making "large" investments for the betterment of the electricity supply  and consumption by the population.

 

João Borges added that soon the equipment acquired in Turkey and Spain will start arriving in the country and will be fixed as of 2023 in the provinces of Luanda, Namibe, Huíla, Cunene and Huambo, as part of the expansion of the transport and distribution network of high and medium voltage electric that will enable  14,500 new connections.

 

"These are the actions that are intended to be developed soon at the level of the electricity sector, without forgetting the Matala energy project that on completion will provide 28 Mvas of power", - the minister said. 

 

The National Strategy for Renewable Energy foresees the possibility of installing solar parks estimated at 55 gigawatts, almost 10 times more than all the production capacity currently installed in the country.

 

Angola's Electricity System, according to the report, integrates four systems, namely the North, Center, South, and East. The Northern and Central systems have been interconnected since 2019.
