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.
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.
The 150 MW project will produce electricity to power 90,000 homes, contributing to job creation, emissions reduction and efforts to increase national electrification. Angola’s Ministry of Finance secured $1.44 billion in financing from multinational bank Standard Chartered in July 2023 to fund the deployment of 48 solar PV systems nationwide.
