A presidential decree enacted in 2020 mandates that all energy projects implemented in the country must comply with Angola’s environmental sustainability policies. As a result, for a project to be implemented, it must undergo an environmental licensing procedure to measure aspects including emissions, noise and waste.
The energy policy of Angola reflects energy policy and the politics of Angola. Biomass accounts for 58% of the country's energy consumption; oil accounts for 35%, gas 4% and hydroelectric power 3%. Primary energy use in 2009 in Angola was 138 TWh and 7 TWh per million persons. Angolans used to suffer frequent daily blackouts.
Other policies helping Angola prioritize both improving energy access and ensuring emissions reduction include the National Program for Rural Electrification of Rural Areas, the 2022 Angola Long Term Strategy, the Petroleum Operations Regulation and the Law on Sugar Cane Production for Biofuels.
With the government of Angola aiming to improve electrification while reducing emissions in the oil, gas and related sub-sectors, a series of policies have been implemented to ensure environmental sustainability across the entire energy industry.
To align the energy sector with this commitment, the Angolan government is prioritizing improved cooperation with utilities, independent power producers and the private sector regarding renewables deployment, and in the process, help reduce consumer dependence on expensive power tariffs and diesel generators.
Developed by the United Nations Development Programme and the Rockefeller Foundation to improve access to energy, clean fuels and cooking as well as energy efficiency, the program is expected to help Angola double the share of renewables in the energy mix by 2030.
