According to data from the CPLP's Economic Affairs Directorate, which Lusa had access to, on the sidelines of the 14th Water, Energy and Environment Forum, which is taking place in Luanda, the total area of the exclusive EEZ of the Portuguese-speaking bloc countries is around 7.9 million square kilometers.
After Brazil, Portugal and Cape Verde, come Mozambique (8%), Angola (6%), Equatorial Guinea (4%), while Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Timor-Leste occupy the following positions with 1% each, in terms of territorial quotas of the community's EEZ.
The CPLP's economic pillar, whose agenda is based on seven axes, namely the promotion of trade, promotion of investment, institutional and business capacity building, among others, is an initiative of Angola's rotating presidency.
In this forum, promoted by the Organization of Young Entrepreneurs of the European Union (JEUNE), in partnership with the Luanda-Bengo EEZ Directorate, it was also announced that the CPLP, with approximately 300 million inhabitants, is the fourth largest producer of gas and holds 14% of the world's freshwater resources.
Alberto Carvalho Neto, president of JEUNE, highlighted the working partnership with the EEZ, indicating that the meeting allows for discussing "without taboos" the challenges that exist in access to energy, water and in environmental projects, aiming to create sustainability and inclusive growth.
The director of Infrastructure and Maintenance of the Angolan EEZ, Aguinaldo Delgado, reported that the public institution currently has 132 megawatts of energy available and consumes only 68.
"This means that in terms of availability the EEZ has a surplus (...). At this very moment, we have the capacity to meet demand with a surplus of 50%," he told Lusa, adding that the organization also has a storage capacity of 3,800 cubic meters of water and a daily consumption of 2,000 cubic meters.
Despite the aforementioned installed capacity in the water domain, Aguinaldo Delgado acknowledged, on the other hand, that the EEZ is also affected by the problems that occur in the country in the area of capture and distribution.
"If we take into account that the capture and distribution of water is directly related to the need for energy, whenever we have energy problems, we necessarily have problems with water," he stressed, denying that the situation conditions investments in that unit.
The Angolan EEZ currently has 136 manufacturing units, 89 of which are in operation.
