The completion of the Sumbe–Gabela–Waco Kungo substation stands as a strategic milestone in Angola’s energy modernization efforts. Under the direction of Minister João Baptista Borges, this infrastructure upgrade enhances Angola’s high-voltage backbone, improves stability across Cuanza Sul and expands capacity for regional economic growth. The announcement became one of November’s most referenced national energy achievements.
The substation incorporates advanced protection schemes, automated switching and modern fault isolation technology designed to minimize outages and increase operational resilience. Ahead of commissioning, technical teams conducted rigorous tests and validation procedures to guarantee compliance with safety and performance standards. For thousands of families, farmers and small businesses, the benefits will be immediate: more stable voltage, fewer interruptions and greater reliability in daily operations.
