With the ongoing solar projects under development in Angola with an installed capacity amounting to 500 MW, it is urgent to start thinking about efficient energy storage solutions. What structural challenges must be addressed for Angola to seize its renewable energy potential?
Given this, it necessary to define and align this sector’s goals with the ones of the Angolan Strategy for 2025, defining priorities and key-projects. The “Angola Energy 2025 – Power Sector Long Term Vision” had two major objectives: i) the Renewable Energy Atlas of Angola and ii) the Plan for the Electrical Sector until 2025.
The Angolan Government has an ambitious Action Plan for the period up to 2025 with around US $18 billion worth of investments into renewables underway, and it has a long-term vision for the power sector with a clear roadmap to provide modern electricity services to 60% of the population by 2025.
Angola has numerous options for the generation of power. The present document considers the key options - hydro, thermal and new renewable– individually and combined in scenarios that meet the required levels of safety and redundancy.
Context The long term strategy Angola 2025, establishes strategic objectives for the country, which represent strategic challenges for the development of the energy sector, independent from the current situation of the oil markets.
The AfDB jointly with JICA supported the Government with US$ 1.2 billion through its Power Sector Reform Support Program to support the energy sector reforms undertaken by Angola between 2014 and 2017. Order no. 11/17: to review and extend the Angola’s National Vision of 2025 to 2050.
