The plant, which has a capacity of 14.6 megawatts, is already finished, she said. Cited by Angop, the provincial governor added that technical tests are underway, so that the delivery of this infrastructure to the population will take place next month.
Still in the energy field, the governor reported that the government, through the Ministry of Energy and Water, has finished the energy transmission line between Catabola and Camacupa, and technical tests are currently underway on the electrical substation with the one in Cuito, using energy from Laúca.
Thus, these two municipalities will be connected to the national electricity grid.
In addition, Celeste Adolfo also stated that works to transport energy from Cuito to Cunhinga, Andulo and Nhârea will soon begin, so that they can be connected to the national system, via Laúca, writes Angop.
The provincial governor also mentioned that construction of the Cuemba and Chitembo photovoltaic power plants is scheduled to begin this year, once the demining phase is complete.
Led by the governor of Bié, the meeting was held to analyse the "socioeconomic situation of the populations in the province", according to a statement from the Bié government, to which VerAngola had access.
"In her speech, governor Celeste Adolfo advocated the need to intensify actions to guarantee the social and economic well-being of the communities, a commitment that requires dedication, dynamism and a sense of patriotic responsibility", the statement reads.
