Water, the next oil

Article - September 29, 2011
With 47 watersheds and the largest water-flow rate in Africa, Angola’s powerful rivers hold the potential to generate 18 GW of energy.
 Moreover, in light of the resources available, it is possible to build 150 mini-hydroelectric plants, with a production capacity close to 2 MW. Capanda Dam, the country’s most important hydroelectric producer and largest ever civil construction project, lies on the Kwanza River in Malanje Province. Capanda’s four turbines each produce 130 MW, and represent the first major step towards producing and supplying electricity to all of Angola.
