Background
Angola's "Long Term Plan" for their power sector included various scenarios for developing up to 1200 MW of gas-fired power generation capacity at this power station.[4] In 2022, it was announced that a consortium of South Korean companies would build a 750 MW gas plant at this location.[5]
