Background
This power station, commissioned in 2017, provides 720 MW of power through two dual-fuel diesel and natural gas fired units. Equipped with GE's 9E series turbine, it is capable of burning up to 50% Hydrogen in its mix of fuels.[15]
Angola's "Long Term Vision" for the power sector also includes plans to develop a further 720 MW of gas-fired power generation capacity by 2024.[16]
