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).
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?
«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 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.
Fernando Prioste, CEO of COBA Group, talks to The Energy Year about Angola’s potential for deploying pumped-storage hydroelectricity and hydrogen solutions as it develops a robust energy industry and the central role of COBA Group in the country’s power arena.
