Energy & Mining
has become part of VINCI, creating a major new
player in energy services. With the contribution of
Cegelec (€3 billion in revenue), the new energy
division is representing approximately 21% of VIN-
CI’s overall revenue.
Cegelec has established in Angola in 2001 to com-
ply the agreement on Girasol project led by TOTAL.
Nowadays, the company has integrated other pres-
tigious clients such as Exxon, Chevron or Sonangol
in its portfolio.
Cegelec is an international group that provides ser-
vices to businesses and local authorities. It oper-
ates primarily in four major sectors:
• electrical engineering, climate control and me-
chanical engineering
• automation, instrumentation and control
• information and communication technologies
• maintenance and services
The integration of Cegelec reinforces the network
of the Vinci Group, as for example in Angola, where
Cegelec benefits of stronger recognition than Vinci
Energies. In terms of expertise, Cegelec comple-
ments the Group’s existing presence in the high
potential markets of transport systems, oil and gas
infrastructure and nuclear energy.
Cegelec’s expertise in multi-technical maintenance,
revision engineering and workshop training for spe-
cific jobs is acknowledged in Angola. Although their
main clients are oil and gas operators, the company
is seeking opportunities in other industrial areas.
They are present mainly in Luanda, but having con-
nections with Soyo and all the strategical points
overseas.
Cegelec is supporting its partners to create solid
bases in the Angolan market. Despite the challeng-
ing environment, they are optimistic and believe in
the high potential of the Angolan economy.
“Angolan expansion is a reality that will continue
during the next years, but the country is complex
and it is mandatory to work on long term projects
based on solid platforms.”

Encel was founded in 1982 as a state owned na-
tional company. It was one of the pioneers in the
sector and since then, Encel has implemented sev-
eral electromechanical equipment and materials in
the Angolan market.
Besides the industrial area of Encel in Viana and
the warehouses and offices located in Luanda, the
company has an industrial department in Benguela
and a support centre in Cabinda.
The company provides the following services:
• Assembly and construction of electrical networks
• Manufacturing of electrical switchboards
• Control and installation of transformer stations
• Assembly and repair of electrical installations
The competitive advantage of Encel is the prestige
and strength of the company that is reflected in the
quality of work they deliver. These achievements
were made by combining quality with their exhaus-
tive experience in the market.
Encel was awarded the ‘International Arco Europe’
price for Quality and Excellence in the gold cate-
gory. This price was awarded by the Spanish com-
pany ‘Business Initiative Direction (BID)’.
Currently, the company is under process of privati-
zation.

great climate, political stability and its strong gov-
