Soil Thermal Power Station Phase 2, Angola Soyo-I Thermal Power Station is a 750 megawatt natural gas-fired thermal power plant, currently under construction in Soyo, Angola Sayur Province. The upgrade of the Soyo power plant is critical to the Angola Energy 2025 vision. Since its completion in 2017, the original power plant has produced approximately 750 megawatt. With two 360 megawatt units, it barely meets the country's needs. But the planned upgrade includes two additional units.
