Sonangol, BPA and EdP sign agreement
05-08-09 Angola's oil company Sonangol Holding, the Banco Privado Atlantico (BPA) and the Portuguese firm EdP signed in Lisbon, Portugal, a memorandum of understanding for the establishment of a strategic joint venture.
BPA said that the joint venture aims to develop and implant units of electricity production in Angola through a centre of combined circles, hydraulic, solar panels and wind energy.
In the joint venture, the Angolan parities hold more than two thirds of the capital and enjoy a strategic relation with a technical partner with high expertise in the sector of conventional energy, including natural gas and renewed energy.
