Angola is launching a project for the supply, construction and testing of hybrid photovoltaic generation systems and the expansion of the electricity grid for 60 communities in the provinces of Malanje, Bié, Moxico, Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul.
The 1 billion euro contract will be carried out by a consortium made up of MCA Deutschland GMBH and M. Couto Alves Vias from Angola.
According to Portuguese news agency Lusa, the project, which is part of the Angolan Power Sector Development Programme, aims to “reduce poverty by increasing basic social services, including access to electricity”.
