EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | Angola Energy 2025
Context The long term strategy Angola 2025, establishes strategic objectives for the country, which represent strategic challenges for the development of the
Currently, Angola does not have any wind energy projects in operation, although there has been interest in developing a wind project in Malanje. The proposed project involves implementing wind turbines for electricity generation at two different locations: Kiwaba Nzoji I and II, with a total capacity of 104 MW.
In 2019, approximately 54.6% of the final energy consumed in Angola came from renewable sources, with biomass contributing 46.9% and hydropower 7.7%. The electrification rate in Angola remains relatively low compared to many other countries, but the government's efforts have shown progress.
Hydro, however, remains a significant player in the energy landscape being responsible for the production of 3,676 MW of electricity in 2021. More recently, the Angolan Government has been taking steps towards increasing the country's solar energy capacity.
This page presents an integrated view of all stufied projects: 367 solar projects; 100 small hydro projects; 42 biomass projects and 13 wind projects. Angola presents a renewable potential of more than 20 GW of projects for production of electricity RENEWABLE POTENTIAL OF IDENTIFIED AND STUDIED PROJECTS
The wind Atlas of Angola has allowed the identification of enough potential for electricity generation near the Atlantic scarp, along a north-south axis associated with higher altitudes, and in the southwestern region of the country, where the wind at a height of 80 meters above the ground reaches average speeds of more than 6 meters per second.
By harnessing the abundant solar potential, Angola aims to reduce its reliance on traditional fossil fuels, such as oil and natural gas, and unlock its potential to become a prominent solar energy hub.

Due to the stochastic nature of wind, electric power generated by wind turbines is highly erratic and may affect both the power quality and the planning of power systems.
Scaling energy storage in rural regions of Angola presents a myriad of challenges, which can be summarized as follows: 1. Infrastructural deficiencies, 2. Financial constraints, 3.
