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.
Abundant sunshine, high solar radiation levels and a low electrification rate make Angola conducive to the development of solar photovoltaic power. The country’s first solar power plants – located in Biópio and Baía Farta – were inaugurated in July 2022 and will supply electricity to 1.5 million households.
The asset is owned, run and financed by French energy giant TotalEnergies in partnership with Sonangol and local renewables company Greentech – Angola Environment Technology. In May 2022, President Lourenço approved a contract worth USD 1.02 billion for the development of new solar projects with the aim of electrifying 60 communes.
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.
With an installed capacity of 189 MW directed to over one million households, the Biópio photovoltaic power plant represents the largest solar power project in Angola, made up of nearly 510,000 solar panels.
