Angola’s first photovoltaic power plant began generating energy, confirming the Government’s plans to ensure an energy transition and contribute to the country’s decarbonisation.

New regulatory reforms, favorable incentives for investors, and strategic partnerships have served to develop a major investment opportunity for regional and international players to participate in Angola’s energy space.

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.

Adriano Mongini, CEO of Azule Energy, speaks about the formation of the company and leading projects currently under development.
