MCA Infrastructures SA Launches Major Solar Expansion in Angola
MCA Infrastructures SA is expanding its solar energy presence in Angola with the construction of two new solar farms in the provinces of Huíla and Cunene. Together, these projects will have a combined capacity of 285.4 MWp. The first farm, located in the Matala municipality of Huíla, will provide 142.7 MWp and is expected to begin operations by December 2025. The second, a facility with the same capacity in the Ombadja municipality of Cunene, is scheduled for completion by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Growing Angola’s Renewable Portfolio with Advanced Solar Technology
These solar ventures are a key part of MCA Infrastructures’ strategy to grow its renewable energy portfolio in Angola. Alongside these new sites, the company is developing a 96 MWp solar project in the Quilengues municipality of Huíla province, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2025. The projects will be equipped with advanced photovoltaic panels, inverters, and transformers. Once integrated into Angola’s national grid, the clean energy generated will significantly reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels and curb greenhouse gas emissions.
New Solar Farms to Power Over 370,000 Homes in Angola
The new solar farms will produce enough renewable electricity to power more than 370,000 homes in Angola annually. This boost in generation will bolster the nation’s energy security and accelerate its transition toward a sustainable energy future.

MCA Infrastructures’ Commitment to Angola’s Energy Transition
This initiative builds on MCA Infrastructures’ ongoing commitment to advancing Angola’s energy transition. A recent example is the 12.2 MWp solar farm in Bailundo, Huambo province, which began operating in August 2023 and now supplies clean energy to over 24,000 households. The new farms in Huíla and Cunene are part of a larger push to promote renewable energy in Angola, helping to diversify the country’s energy mix, reduce emissions, and create jobs in the renewables sector.
Supporting Angola’s National Renewable Energy Goals
These developments align with Angola’s broader goal of increasing its renewable energy capacity. The nation has already made significant progress, with several large-scale solar projects either completed or underway. By providing a dependable source of clean electricity, the farms in Huíla and Cunene will play a key role in helping Angola meet its renewable energy targets, reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, and support efforts to combat climate change.
