Angolan electricity company Empresa Nacional de Distribuição de Energia says an electricity distribution system in Luanda, being built with Chinese money, should be switched on next month, Angop reports.
The Angolan state-run news agency quotes the spokesman for the company, Pedro Pinto Bila, as saying the system is about 90 percent complete.
The report says the system will supply electricity to about 50,000 households in the Belas district of Luanda.
The system will comprise nine substations in Luanda and the surrounding province of Bengo, about 1,000 transformer stations and high-voltage power lines, the news agency says.
The US$600 million being spent on the system was borrowed from China, Angop says.
