Project Stage
Project Overview
The overall objective of the project is to generate 11,050 MW at the Inga site by building a hydropower plant with transmissions lines within DRC and across borders. Transmission lines are designed to connect with South Africa through SAPP power lines. In the western part of the DRC, transmission lines could link with Nigeria and Angola.
Key Objectives
Contribute to increased power interconnections across Africa. Facilitate trade in power between SAPP and DRC. Promote economic development in the DRC, SAPP, Central African Power Pool and WAPP. Contribute to job creation in DRC and all powerful countries involved in the project.
Strategic Importance
Flagship energy project for Africa, representing the continent's largest hydropower potential and a critical clean energy resource for regional development.
Technical Specifications
