Where is a 35 MW solar project being built in Angola?
Construction is underway of a 35 MW solar project in Angola. The Quilemba photovoltaic power plant, first announced in October , will be located near Lubango in the south of the country. It is being built by Angolan company Quilemba Solar Lda, a joint venture between TotalEnergies (51%), Sonangol (30%) and Maurel & Prom (19%).
How big is Angola's new solar power plant?
The project has an initial capacity of 35 MW, expected to come on stream during the first half of next year, with possibility of adding another 45 MW during a second phase. A groundbreaking ceremony for the project, which is billed as the largest privately-owned solar power plant in Angola, took place earlier this month.
What is the Angola solar project?
The Angola Solar Project creates new opportunities for Angolan communities that will no longer be forced to rely on and pay for gasoline or diesel generators. Each one of the five projects that comprises the Angola Solar Project will supply the needs of 500,000 Angolan homes, mainly in rural areas.
How many homes will a solar project supply in Angola?
Each one of the five projects that comprises the Angola Solar Project will supply the needs of 500,000 Angolan homes, mainly in rural areas. Sun Africa was awarded the prestigious "ECA/DFI-backed deal of the year" by "TXF Perfect 10" for Sun Africa's 370 MW solar PV project in Angola.
How much solar power does Angola have?
Angola’s cumulative solar capacity stood at 362 MW at the end of last year, up from 310 MW at the end of the year prior, according to figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Last May, a 25.3 MW project was inaugurated in eastern Angola, as part of wider plans to deploy a total 370 MW across the country.
Who backed Sun Africa's 370 MW solar PV project in Angola?
Sun Africa was awarded the prestigious "ECA/DFI-backed deal of the year" by "TXF Perfect 10" for Sun Africa's 370 MW solar PV project in Angola. Sun Africa initiated this project, developed it, and arranged long-term financing.
