An agreement for the provision of $900 million in funding to support the implementation of the Angola Solar Energy Project was reached between Angola’s Ministry of Energy and Water and the U.S. Export-Import Bank in June 2023.
Sun Africa was awarded the prestigious "ECA/DFI-backed deal of the year" by "TXF Perfect 10" for Sun Africa's 370 MW solar PV project in Angola. Sun Africa initiated this project, developed it, and arranged long-term financing.
Angola has set a target of 60% access to electricity by 2025 under the strategic plan ‘Visao 2025,’ of which solar is poised to play a central role. Supporting electrification as well as diversification, solar projects are being rolled out by the government alongside international partners and project developers.
The solar facility will mitigate the emissions of 224,000 tons of carbon dioxide while providing employment to 600 people. Developed in phases, the facility will be operational for 20 years and falls in line with efforts by Angola to generate 500 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2025.
