Angola’s power sector is anchored by hydro generation along the Kwanza basin, with major capacity at the Laúca, Capanda, and Cambambe complexes. The state operates generation through PRODEL, transmission through RNT, and distribution through ENDE.

The next chapter is solar and gas. Multiple utility-scale solar projects are under development; gas monetization at Soyo and the eastern fields is expected to drive new combined-cycle capacity through 2028. Angola’s strategic ambition is to become a regional electricity exporter, anchored by the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) integration.
