Angola Plans to Invest in 130 Solar Energy Projects

Addressing a 6th German-African Energy Forum, held on 22 – 25 in Germany, the minister said the Angolan Executive plans to invest the above amount in rural regions with low demographic concentration to meet the needs of the local residents.

To put these projects into practice and ensure people’s access to this type of energy it is necessary to create ways to encourage users, taking into account the condition of the most disadvantaged people, stressed the official. The Angolan minister also met with the Germany State Secretary of Economy, Stefan Kafaferer.

João Baptista Borges also discussed with Oil vice minister in Chamber of Commerce of Hamburg, matters related to cooperation and strengthening of existing ties with other institutions that attended the event.

During a visit of German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, to Angola in July last year, the Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos pointed out the fields of hydropower as a priority in cooperation with Germany.
