The solar power plant will be located in Lubango, Huila province capital, Angola. It will be developed, financed, built, and operated by Total Eren (75%) and Greentech (25%). An option for Sonangol, the public Angolan oil and gas company, to join the project is currently under discussion.
This solar project is in line with Angola’s ambition to foster foreign investments and promote renewable energies to reach 800 MW of installed capacity in the country by 2025. Once commissioned, the solar farm will provide competitive power supply to the Angolan network and enable significative fuel savings compared to the existing thermal power plants.
