Angola Communication Base Station Flywheel Energy Storage Tower

Angola has numerous options for the generation of power. The present document considers the key options - hydro, thermal and new renewable– individually and combined in scenarios that meet the required levels of safety and redundancy.

ANTOSC has been educating mobile operators and regulators in Angola about tower sharing for some time, but there remains more work to do. Before Africell's entrance, the tower sharing process in Angola between its two active mobile operators – Unitel and Movicel – was slow and unpredictable.

anticipated that, in accordance with the Strategy for New Renewable Energies, 500 “solar villages” will be installed in off-grid main villages and in other settlements of larger dimension and, for the remaining population, individual systems based on solar energy will be supplied. Angola has numerous options for the generation of power.

Angola itself needs a minimum 3,000 sites across next three years to meet coverage targets and expand networks and we think ANTOSC delivering 400 of those sites is realistic. We are looking to raise US$20mn-30mn of investment.

ANTOSC are the country's sole towerco and share details on the market In 2021 Africell began construction of Angola's fourth mobile network, after a lengthy licence process. Angola currently has 3,518 SIMs per tower, minimal infrastructure sharing, and a big infrastructure deficit outside coastal regions.

In order to ensure a safe power supply, even in years of lower hydro flow, Angola should have 9.9 GW of installed capacity – through increasing power capacity in all sub-systems and through a strong reliance on hydro and gas (which will correspond, respectively, to 66% and 19% of installed power capacity).
