Gantner has supplied its advanced monitoring solutions to one of the largest solar projects in Africa. This massive initiative involves seven solar power plants in Angola, boasting a total capacity of 370 MWp. These plants are set to significantly enhance the region’s electricity supply, facilitate the country’s transition to renewable energy, and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. Official estimates suggest that over 1.2 million families will benefit from this transformative solar project.
The project was developed by Sun Africa and constructed by the Portuguese EPC company MCA Group. It is financially backed by the Swedish Export Credit Corporation (SEK), which provided an export credit of €560 million, guaranteed by the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN). International trade company Elof Hansson Group played a crucial role in sourcing and coordinating with suitable Swedish suppliers for the project.
