UAE’s state owned energy developer Masdar, has signed a power purchase agreement in Angola for the 150‑MW Quipungo Solar PV project.

The deal was signed with Rede Nacional de Transporte de Electricidade, Angola’s state-owned national electricity transmission company, responsible for managing and operating the country’s transmission grid.

The Quipungo project is the first phase of Project Royal Sable, a 500‑MW solar programme across three sites in the southern part of the country.

The agreement will underpin long-term electricity offtake and support the build-out of power infrastructure in Huila Province. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) supported the deal through its Energy Transition Accelerator Financing (ETAF) programme.

Rede Nacional de Transporte de Electricidade plays a central role in the development and integration of new power generation projects into the national system, supporting Angola’s broader electrification and energy transition objectives.
