CDB provides $47.3 million loan for Electrification and Home Connections Project in Cabinda Province (Linked to Project ID#66847)

In December 2015, China Development Bank and the Government of Angola signed a $15 billion oil prepayment facility (see Project ID#66847). All of the subsidiary loans approved through this facility have a 12 year maturity. In 2016, CDB reportedly approved a $47.3 million loan to the Government of Angola for the Electrification and Home Connections Project in Cabinda Province. The proceeds of this loan were used to partially finance a commercial contract worth $59.99 million with an unknown Chinese firm. This project sought to establish 30,00 household connections to the electricity grid in Cabinda Province. It reached implementation, but its precise implementation start and end dates are unknown. See Project ID#65748 for other water and energy sector projects financed through the 2015 CDB facility.
