Energy

The DRC immense energy potential consists of non-renewable resources such as oil, natural gas and uranium, and renewable energy sources including hydroelectric, biomass, solar, wind, and geothermal power. The government’s vision is to increase the level of service up to 32% in 2030.

The Congo River, which is the second largest river in the world with its basin astride the Equator provides an energy potential estimated at 100,000 MW spread across 780 sites in 145 territories and 76 000 villages. This potential represents approximately 37% of the African overall potential and about 6% of the global potential.

Of the total installed capacity in DRC estimated at 2,516 MW, Societe Nationale d’Electricite (SNEL) has a generation capacity of about 2,416 MW or 96% of Hydroelectric power which accounts of domestic power generation and is generated by the Inga I and Inga II dams that are located in Kongo Central province. Current production is only 6,000 to 7,000 Gwh.

Our Vision for this sector

Increase the supply rate of electricity from 9% to 32%.

Construction of energy highways in the following lines:

Inga Site → Gabon → Cameroon → Nigeria → Mali

Inga Site → Angola → Namibia → Botswana → South Africa

Inga Site → Central Africa → Chad → Libya

Inga Site → South Africa → Sudan → Egypt

Inga Site → Malawi → Zambia → Zimbabwe → Lesotho
