People and emissions
estimate when operating · not people connectedAbout 1,936 to 2,278 GWh a year at a 50% capacity factor (AEI technology benchmark).
Enough electricity for about 4.7 million to 5.5 million people at Angola's average use of 411 kWh a person (2024).
About 422,000 tonnes of CO2 a year avoided if it displaces average grid generation (185 g/kWh, 2024).
Grid power also serves business and industry, so the people figure is a comparison, not a count of connections. Sources: AEI capacity-factor benchmarks, Ember electricity data (CC-BY-4.0), World Bank population.
