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.
Located in the country's arid southwest, the plant will improve electricity access and grid stability while supporting Angola's broader climate and energy goals. Meanwhile, construction continues on the Luena Solar Power Station in Moxico Province (east of Angola).
The solar facility will mitigate the emissions of 224,000 tons of carbon dioxide while providing employment to 600 people. Developed in phases, the facility will be operational for 20 years and falls in line with efforts by Angola to generate 500 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2025.
