370-MW Solar Photovoltaic Project in Angola

completed

Portuguese construction group MCA has finalized a 370-MW solar photovoltaic project in Angola, involving the installation of seven solar farms and more than one million solar panels across several provinces. The project concluded with the inauguration of the last plant, the Bailundo solar farm in Huambo province, which aims to strengthen electricity production and distribution in the Bailundo municipality, an area marked by irregular supply and frequent blackouts. The project is expected to provide power to around 2.4 million people, reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by about 1 million tonnes, replace approximately 1.4 million litres of diesel used in generators and thermal plants, and improve living standards for local communities.
