RENEWABLE PROJECTS

This page presents an integrated view of all stufied projects: 367 solar projects; 100 small hydro projects; 42 biomass projects and 13 wind projects.

Angola presents a renewable potential of more than 20 GW of projects for production of electricity

RENEWABLE POTENTIAL OF IDENTIFIED AND STUDIED PROJECTS

Solar energy is the biggest renewable source of Angola and the more evenly distributed throughout the territory. More than 17 GW of potential were mapped and studied, which corresponds to more than 360 solar projects throughout the territory.

Hydropower is the most competitive energy, with small hydro projects presenting levelized cost of energy from 20 USD/MWh. From an overall potential of 18GW, 600MW of small hydro were studied in already known locations.

Biomass projects, with total projects potential of more than 1.5 GW, have higher energy costs, starting at 75 USD/MWh, but have high benefits in local job creation, particularly related to the process of extraction and management of biomass forest.
The production of energy from MSW in major urban areas also has several benefits, not only in terms of job creation but also in solving the problem of household waste.

Despite having less potential than the other renewable sources wind power has about 600 MW of projects with good potential and competitive energy costs.
