Angola: Calueque hydro plant operational again

Some 28 years after its destruction by Cuban Mig fighter planes during the 1975-1991 civil war, the 14MW Calueque hydro plant on the Kunene River will be operational again by year-end. The dam was bombed in 1988 when it was in the hands of the South African Defence Force. A consortium of Mota Engil Africa and Lyon announced in late January that the facility would be rehabilitated this year.
