On an average hydrologic year, hydropower and gas will represent a higher share when compared to their installed power given the extremely low utilization of the remaining thermal power plants – which only supply 0,4% of the produced energy – mainly during peak hours.
The power station is in the development stage, by a consortium comprising Total Eren, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, the French oil conglomerate, in collaboration with Greentech-Angola Environment Technology and Sonangol, the Angolan energy parastatal.
In early June, the Export-Import Bank of the United States awarded a loan to Angola’s Ministry of Energy and Water to deploy two large-scale solar power plants, totaling 500 MW. According to the latest statistics from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Angola had 297 MW of installed PV capacity at the end of 2022.
With the ongoing solar projects under development in Angola with an installed capacity amounting to 500 MW, it is urgent to start thinking about efficient energy storage solutions. What structural challenges must be addressed for Angola to seize its renewable energy potential?
