Angola has numerous options for the generation of power. The present document considers the key options - hydro, thermal and new renewable– individually and combined in scenarios that meet the required levels of safety and redundancy.
anticipated that, in accordance with the Strategy for New Renewable Energies, 500 “solar villages” will be installed in off-grid main villages and in other settlements of larger dimension and, for the remaining population, individual systems based on solar energy will be supplied. Angola has numerous options for the generation of power.
Maintaining supply security requirements, Angola may export energy in wet periods and import during off-peak hours in dry periods.
In order to ensure a safe power supply, even in years of lower hydro flow, Angola should have 9.9 GW of installed capacity – through increasing power capacity in all sub-systems and through a strong reliance on hydro and gas (which will correspond, respectively, to 66% and 19% of installed power capacity).
