Cairo: Angola was reelected vice-president of the Association of Power Utilities of Africa (APUA) for the southern Africa region during the organization’s 59th General Assembly in Cairo, Egypt, at its 21st Congress.
According to Angola Press News Agency, Angola’s reelection for the 2025-2028 term reaffirms the country’s commitment to strengthening energy security and cooperation on the continent, valuing human capital, and representing the Portuguese-speaking community within the organization.
During the previous term (2022-2025), Angola, represented by PRODEL, focused on promoting regional integration with an emphasis on including Portuguese-speaking countries. One of the main achievements of the last term was the inclusion of Portuguese as an official APUA language.
Additional initiatives included mobilizing and enrolling companies from Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) in APUA, such as EDM (Mozambique), SEGESA (Equatorial Guinea), ELECTRA S.A. (Cape Verde), EAGB (Guinea-Bissau), and EMAE (So Tom© and Prncipe).
The Angolan delegation to the forum, which concludes on October 2, includes directors from the National Electricity Distribution Company (ENDE), the National Transport Network (RNT), and the Public Electricity Production Company (PRODEL), along with Angolan auditors responsible for the ASEA.
The APUA Congress will gather government leaders, experts, and policymakers from across the continent to address the sector’s structural challenges, promote investment, and accelerate the energy transition in Africa.
