Plane Power: How Software And Jet Engine Tech Are Helping Angola Leapfrog Into the Digital Age

May 02, 2017

But things are changing. This week, Angola, Africa’s third-largest economy, signed a deal with GE to supply the final 200 megawatts (MW) of power needed to meet the government’s goal of installing 1 gigawatt (GW) of new power generation capacity by the end of 2018.
