The Angolan authorities have inaugurated a 25.3 MW solar park built by Portugal''s MCA and Sun Africa. The project is the fourth of seven installations that are being built for the Angolan government, with a combined capacity of 370 MW.
Portugal''s MCA, in consortium with US-based Sun Africa, built the Luena Photovoltaic Park in eastern Angola. The €37 million ($39.9 million) project features around 44,000 solar panels and will supply electricity to almost 60,000 people.
The solar park is the fourth of seven such installations that MCA is building for the Angolan government. All seven are expected to be operational by the end of this year, with a total capacity of 370 MW. The first solar project was completed in August 2022.
The installations are part of the Energia Angola 2025 plan, which aims to diversify the country''s energy mix to ensure that around 77% of the rural population has access to electricity.
According to statistics from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Angola had 310 MW of deployed solar at the end of last year, up from 285 MW in 2022.
Last year, Angola''s Ministry of Finance secured €1.29 billion to finance the construction of 48 hybrid PV systems across six Angolan provinces. MCA is managing and building the projects.

To improve electrification rates in rural areas, the Angolan Ministry of Energy and Water has embarked on plans to install 30,000 solar systems to generate up to 600 MW of electricity. With completion expected by late 2022, the project emphasizes the participation of the private sector. The project is backed by a $1 million loan secured by the government in 2018 from the African Development Bank''s Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa to finance the Angola Renewable Energy Program – an initiative intended to improve Angola''s access to electricity and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
US-based solar project development company, Sun Africa, is spearheading a 370 MW solar power initiative comprising seven separate projects, of which the 188 MWp Biopio project represents the largest. At a cost of $650 million, the project is being funded by the Swedish Export Credit Corporation, South Korean insurance corporation, K-sure, and the Development Bank of Southern Africa. Upon completion, the project will electrify 239,222 houses.
The 96.7 MWp Bay Full solar project by Sun Africa is located in the coastal town of Baía Farta in the Benguela province of Angola. Covering an area of 186 hectares and comprising 261,230 solar panels, the project will generate an estimated 96.1 MWp of electricity and will significantly reduce reliance on diesel in the province.
