MCA Group is strongly committed to carrying out its strategy of consolidating Angola’s new energy matrix, which will allow the installation of seven photovoltaic parks in six provinces in the south of the country.
Through Data consulted Angola indicate that the Portuguese company takes an effective role in promoting green energy and environmental sustainability. of solar resource in Angola, with an average annual global radiation in horizontal plane between 1370 and 2100 kWh/m2.
Based on this resource, the Atlas and National Strategy for Renewable Energy in Angola predicted the possibility of installing a production capacity in solar parks estimated at 55,000 megawatts, that is, 10 times more all the production capacity currently installed in the country, using all fonts.
The adoption of production solutions using renewable energies is part of the country’s National Climate Change Strategy and the development of a low carbon model.
In this energy transition strategy, it is very important to highlight the significant penetration of hydropower in the national energy matrix, with around 60 percent, as a result of significant investments made in recent years with the construction of large hydroelectric dams, with naturally still room for integration for non-conventional renewable energies, such as solar, wind and biomass.
The project, in general, is undoubtedly a great gain for the sector that will impact the economic, social and environmental development of at least six regions of the country, namely Benguela (municipalities of Baía Farta 96,703 MWdc and Biópio 188,877 MWdc).
In Huambo (Bailundo 17,9992 MWdc), Bié (Cuito 15,652 MWdc), Moxico (Luena 29,906 MWdc), Lunda-Norte (Lucapa 8,192 MWdc) and Lunda-Sul (Saurimo 26,906 MWdc).
Being extremely populated regions, experts estimate the hypothesis that energy benefits around 1,200,000 families, which makes up around 6,200,000 inhabitants.
In addition to reducing the costs of the population and companies that use small and large gasoline and diesel generators, these projects will serve to boost activity in different areas, ranging from education, health and the exercise of commercial activities.
