Cited by the Jornal de Angola, the responsible made it known that a space will be created to house the history of the country's energy sector, admitting that this construction will boost tourism in the region.
Besides telling the history and achievements of Angola in the electricity sector, the plant will also continue to be responsible for the conservation of the turbines that used to generate more than eight megawatts of energy.
