The Angolan government has amended the General Electricity Law, officially ending the state’s monopoly on electricity transmission.
This will enable private sector participation through public service concession agreements, aiming to accelerate electrification, attract private investment, and strengthen regional energy interconnections.
The reform removes legal barriers that previously restricted private involvement, facilitating investments essential for expanding electricity access.
The government aims to provide electricity to at least half the population by 2027 as part of its broader strategy to modernize energy infrastructure, enhance efficiency, and promote regional energy cooperation.
