Angola — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 118 energy assets in Angola across 10 layers — the 57th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 74 oil & gas fields, 17 power plants and 7 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 4.6 GW, led by hydro at 75%. Refining capacity is about 225 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Eni SpA (44), Sonangol Pesquisa e Produção SA (31) and TotalEnergies SE (30), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Angola's mapped assets in service predate 2013 (median commissioning year of the 78 with a known date), 24 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Cambambe I hydroelectric plant, dating from 1962. 20 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Caculo Cabaça hydroelectric plant (2.2 GW).
