The installations are part of the Energia Angola 2025 plan, which aims to diversify the country’s energy mix to ensure that around 77% of the rural population has access to electricity.
According to statistics from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Angola had 310 MW of deployed solar at the end of last year, up from 285 MW in 2022.
Last year, Angola’s Ministry of Finance secured €1.29 billion to finance the construction of 48 hybrid PV systems across six Angolan provinces. MCA is managing and building the projects.
