The Angolan National Electricity Transmission Network (RNT) and Omatapalo Construction Company have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to facilitate the construction of a 220 kV high-voltage transmission line.
The MOU was signed by Rui Gourgel, Chairman of the Board of Directors of RNT, Mauro Martins, Executive Director of Market Operations of RNT, and two representatives from Omatapalo Construction Company.
This project will enable the electrical interconnection between Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) [1).
The project is part of the Angolan Government’s Regional Expansion and Interconnection Program and aims to facilitate the export of national electricity to the international market.
It will also allow Angola to enter the electricity markets of the Central African Power Pool (CAPP) and to the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP).
The signing of the memorandum was witnessed by distinguished figures from both companies.
