Work continues on what would be the largest hydropower project in Angola, a $5.2 billion run-of-river power station that Angolan officials have said could come online as early as 2026.
Technology group Voith on Dec. 19 said it is supplying all the electrical and mechanical equipment for the Caculo Cabaca facility, located in the midstream of the Kwanza River, in the Kwanza Norte province. Voith on Tuesday said the equipment order includes installation of five Francis turbines, featuring four with 530 MW of generation capacity, and a single 52-MW unit. Voith also is supplying generators, along with control and auxiliary systems, and is providing what it called a “customized training concept.”
