ANGOLA ENERGIA 2025 - ANGOLA POWER SECTOR LONG TERM VISION

«The global objectives of the long-term strategy Angola 2025, for promoting human development and the well-being of Angolan citizens, promoting a fair and sustainable development, ensuring a high rhythm of economic development and a fair and well balanced development of  the national territory, can only be achieved by means of an adequate response by the electricity sector.

The strong growth of power consumption has resulted in action focused on solving short and medium term problems. Until 2017, is currently our priority.Nevertheless, the development of an electricity sector that supports adequately the country’s aspirations can only be achieved if, in parallel, we develop a long term vision for the sector.»

 

 

ATLAS E ESTRATÉGIA NACIONAL PARA AS NOVAS ENERGIAS RENOVÁVEIS

«Renewable energies, in particular, hydro, have contributed decisively to bring power to more and more Angolans. Hydropower accounts for over 70% of electricity production in the country and, with the ongoing construction of Laúca and Cambambe II, will continue to represent the majority of grid connected generation in the country. Angola is already today one of the world’s countries with greater incorporation of renewables.

However, we cannot rely only on water, which can also scarce due to natural causes, or on fossil fuels, which are nonrenewable, costly and pollute the environment. It is also necessary to diversify and invest in other energy sources and other types of projects: the new renewable energies. The new renewables are distributed more evenly across the territory, with the potential to support the electrification of the country in a more sustainable manner. The strategy that is now being approved is part of the strong commitment of the Government in the electrification of the country.»
