UAE, Dubai: Ducab Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with engineering firm Somagec Group to develop power, transmission systems, and electrification in Angola.
Ducab Group, one of the biggest end-to-end energy solutions providers and manufacturing firms in the UAE, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with leading Moroccan engineering firm Somagec Group to develop power, transmission systems, and electrification in Angola.
The agreement was signed in the presence of Omar Abdulrahman Al Tunaiji, Acting Chargé d’Affaires of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Rabat, Morocco; Charles Mellagui, CEO of Ducab Cables Business; Mauro Martins, Executive Director at Angola’s Rede Nacional de Transporte de Electricidade (RNT); Mehdi Tazi, General Vice-President of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (Confédération Générale des Entreprises Du Maroc, CGEM), representing the Moroccan Government; and Roger Sahyoun, CEO of Somagec Group, along with executives and officials from both parties.
The MoU marks Ducab’s first supply into Angola. The Group already supplies its advanced, ‘Made in the UAE’ products to 15 countries in Africa, which means over a quarter (27%) of Ducab Group’s international activity is directed towards the African continent.
Under the terms of the MoU, the group is constructing over 400 km of 220 kV transmission lines to assist in the electrification of Angola. It is set to provide approximately 2,000 km of overhead transmission lines, along with high, medium, and low voltage (HV/MV/LV) cables to the Angolan energy sector. The energy transmitted through these lines is generated at grid connected hydropower plants namely LAUCA, CAMBAMBE, GOVE and MATALA. The project is scheduled for completion within a span of two years.
