areas, in the 4 major urban centers of Luanda, Benguela, Lubango and Huambo, where demand is
also growing very strongly. A revenue protection program will also be implemented for ENDEs
largest customers.
- Transport: investments to rehabilitate substations and upgrade telecommunication networks and
dispatching tools in order to optimize energy transmission and limit technical losses. |
