Luanda Electricity a key strategic factor for growth and development Angolan Power Sector and its challenges

Current State of Affairs Estimated total population:24 millions Total installed generation capacity 5 000 MW, Less than 35% of the population has access to “formal” electricity supply (many more have access through illegal connections). Approximately 70% of the total supply is consumed in Luanda, where almost 30% of population live; Generation deficit and transmission constraints need to be reduced ; Major investments are required to expand access of electricity to a larger proportion of the population as well as to provide for the growing industrial needs; Reliability and quality of power supply Grid not interconnected Three main systems and isolated power networks The supply does not cover the demand (Deficit). High levels of suppressed demand Losses Technical and non technical losses are high due to the poor condition of infrastructure, inefficient billing, metering and settlement systems, illegal connections Revenue Collection Collection has improved substantial over the last three years. The Collection rate which was of 36,3% in 2003, went up to 41,1% in 2004, 63% in 2005, 77,6% in 2006; Utility financial situation Despite the direct subsidy that the utility gets from the Government, it still have significant losses. The subsidies are not enough to cover operating costs, the utility is over staffed, its commercial services are not reliable, scarcity of qualified human resources and financial resources; Investments depends on Public Service Investment Program; Financial problems have limited the ability to rehabilitate and expand infrastructure. Non cost reflective tariffs Tariffs not cost reflective; The Shortfall is met through Government subsidies, but not sufficient to cover all cost involved Last tariff increase occurred in August 2006 through an executive decree 118/06 MINFIN, which raised tariffs at Residential customers at US$ 0.042/KWh Low voltage industrial and commercial customers at US$ 0.055/KWh Social tariffs at US$0.015/WKh for 50 KWh and is applicable for those customers not exciding 200 KW per month MV and HV tariffs were not increased Average tariffs for distributors At 60 KV, US$ 0,032/KWh At 15 KV, US$ 0,025/KWh

Electricity Industry Dynamics and Investment Opportunities 2025 Goals The government established the guidelines reinforcing the importance of the electricity and allowing for external investments to achieve major development goals in the sector. 2025 Goals Ensure and Increase Electricity Supply Increase the electricity rate from 35% to 60% Quadruplicate the generation capacity from current ~2.000 MW to ~9.500 MW in 2025 Extend more than 2.500 km of lines and substations in the transmission grid, and establish international interconnections Rehabilitate distribution networks, adding more than 1,5 million consumers Industry Competitivenes s Improve the efficiency of public companies Implement a new market model that allows for cost reductions Develop a new regulatory model encouraging efficiency System Sustainability Reduce tariff subsidization Develop an optimal generation mix, making better use of Angola’s natural resources Develop the capabilities of the local workforce

Projects in the field of Generation: Cambambe Hydropower station total output of 960 MW (project concluded in 2017) Lauca Hydropower– 2067 MW, (commissioned in 2017) Caculo Cabaça Hydropower- 2100 MW construction starting in 2017 Construction of a new Thermal 20 MW power station in Namibe Construction of the Jamba Ya Oma and Jamba Ya Mina Hydro power stations; Rehabilitation and Enlargement of Luachimo Hydro power station; Construction of new the Hydro power stations of Luapasso, Chiumbe-Dala (commissioned in 2017) and Chicapa II

Projects in the field of Transmission: Construction of the transmission lines associated to the new power plants, Projects in the field of Distribution: Expansion of Luanda distribution network ; Expansion of distribution networks of the capital cities and towns of the eastern provinces which are not connected to the main power grid ; Expansion of Cabinda distribution network Implemention of a new tariff model in order to ensure the self-financing of the power sector expansion

Projects in the area of Renewable Energy Development of Small hydropower program, including the realization of feasibility studies and project executives studies of 50 hydroelectric power stations; Development of solar photovoltaic systems programme which include the installation of 63 PV systems in 52 localities; Development of mini-hydropower stations program, seeking private sector participation. Implementation of wind parks, with the participation of the private sector Development of wind and solar mapping for power generation In isolated networks where hydropower, solar and wind, are adopted, it is expected to maintain the use of thermal generation source and / or energy storage systems (reservoirs and water pumping systems, battery for solar / wind systems) to guaranty the continuity of supply. In rural areas , renewable energy (especially the mini-hydro, wind and solar) may be the most interesting alternative not only from the perspective of sustainability, but also from an economic perspective and also the short time needed to ensure the supply to the population.

Steps forward Bearing in mind: the existing natural resources the potential for the growth and development of the Angolan market the existing energy resources the rapid growth in electricity demand The application of the revised legal framework of the power sector, namely the General electricity Law , Conditions are hence created for private sector participation in power infrastructure through public private partnerships. Angola has created an enabling environment to attract private sector investment for co-financing the rehabilitation and expansion of the infrastructure by establishing transparent legal, institutional and regulatory frameworks: The Private Investment Law 11/03, May 13, allows for private sector involvement in the power sector; (http:/www.investinangola.com; info@investingangola - ANIP) The Electricity Act 14/A 96, May 13, promotes competition in generation and allows for participation of private sector in generation and distribution; The Economic Sectors Under the State Control Act 4/02, April 16, allows the participation of private sector in the electricity generation and distribution industry through various forms of concessions (BOO, BOOT, ROT, Service and Management Contracts). BOO, BOOT – build (own) operate transfer, ROT – rehabilitate operate transfer, Service and Management Contracts Huge investments are required for rehabilitation and expansion of generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure - Almost $US2.5 billion needed up to 2016 (for the next three years $US559million) Main constraints Scarcity of public funds to rehabilitate and expand infrastructure due to other priorities (social and post war recovering programmes); Hydropower facilities that need rehabilitation – Mabubas (17 MW), Lomaum (35 MW); Use of non cost reflective tariffs.

Steps forward Taking into account the above mentioned measures, Actions are being undertaken with regard to the electricity pricing reforms including introduction of cost reflective tariffs; Consolidation of the role of the Regulator (IRSEA) with the adoption of new regulations as well as the capacity building of its staff. Identification of business opportunities for IPPs, BOO, BOOT, ROT concession and management contract schemes, ; Creation of conditions to promote PPAs (private investment participation) in the sector. Private operators are expected to play an important role in helping restore the power system during the rehabilitation phase, as well as during the phase of its expansion. Angola has created an enabling environment to attract private sector investment for co-financing the rehabilitation and expansion of the infrastructure by establishing transparent legal, institutional and regulatory frameworks: The Private Investment Law 11/03, May 13, allows for private sector involvement in the power sector; (http:/www.investinangola.com; info@investingangola - ANIP) The Electricity Act 14/A 96, May 13, promotes competition in generation and allows for participation of private sector in generation and distribution; The Economic Sectors Under the State Control Act 4/02, April 16, allows the participation of private sector in the electricity generation and distribution industry through various forms of concessions (BOO, BOOT, ROT, Service and Management Contracts).
