Angola has launched the 100 MW M’Gahe solar project in Malanje province, a critical step toward its goal of generating 800 MW of solar power by 2025. Developed with TotalEnergies, the project will connect to the national grid and serve the country’s central and northern regions.
A Milestone in Angola’s Energy Strategy
The M’Gahe solar project is a significant development in Angola’s broader energy strategy, which aims to diversify the country’s energy sources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. This new facility brings Angola closer to its target of producing 800 MW of solar power by 2025. To learn more about the broader impact of Angola’s solar initiatives, check out this detailed report.
The M’Gahe project will be a key part of Angola’s energy transformation. Its 100 MW contribution to the national grid will help stabilize the power supply across the central and northern regions. This is especially important for the host province of Malanje, where it will ensure a more reliable and sustainable energy supply for residents and industries.
Partnership with TotalEnergies
The M’Gahe solar project is a collaboration between Angola and TotalEnergies, a global leader in renewable energy. TotalEnergies has been instrumental in developing Angola’s solar infrastructure, lending its expertise and resources.

As part of its broader strategy to support African countries in their energy transitions, TotalEnergies has already implemented three other solar projects in Angola. These include the 35 MW Quilemba project, the 100 MW Quileva solar plant, and the 64 MW Lucapa solar plant in Lunda Norte province.
Alongside the M’Gahe project, Angola has several other solar initiatives planned. The country is developing two 100 MW solar projects in the provinces of Benguela and Namibe. These projects will further enhance Angola’s solar capacity and bring it closer to its 2025 target. More details on these future projects can be found here.
Economic and Environmental Impact
The M’Gahe solar project represents a step toward a more sustainable energy future and a significant economic opportunity for Angola. Its construction and operation will create jobs and stimulate economic growth in Malanje province. The project will also reduce Angola’s carbon footprint by replacing fossil fuel-based energy with clean, renewable solar power.
This commitment to solar energy is part of the government’s broader strategy to diversify Angola’s energy mix and reduce its dependence on oil. By investing in solar power, Angola is positioning itself as a leader in renewable energy in Africa, with the potential to export excess power to neighboring countries in the future.
The Road Ahead for Renewable Energy in Angola
As Angola continues to develop its solar infrastructure, the M’Gahe project underscores the country’s commitment to a sustainable energy future. With support from international partners like TotalEnergies, Angola is on track to meet its goal of producing 800 MW of solar power by 2025.
The success of the M’Gahe project and other solar initiatives will be crucial for meeting Angola’s energy needs while reducing its environmental impact. By continuing to invest in renewable energy, the country will not only see economic benefits but also contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.
