What is the main priority for the Democratic Republic of Congo's power sector?
The main priority for the Democratic Republic of Congo's power sector is to increase access to electricity. The Democratic Republic of Congo is a large country with 10 million households of which 1.6 million have access to electricity. This makes it the third largest population in the world without access to electricity.
How many people in DRC have access to electricity?
DRC access to electricity is at only 19 % out of the DRC's 84 million people have access to electricity with 41% in urban and 1.1% in rural areas. Lack of access to modern electricity services impairs the health, education, and income-generating potential of the population.
Why does DRC have a high electricity demand?
All segments of electricity demand are severely constrained by supply. Most demand in the residential sector is unmet, partly because DRC has one of the largest deficits in electricity access in the world and high geographical disparities (see chapter 2 for information about access). So is industrial demand.
What solar projects are being built in the DRC?
The main existing solar project in the DRC is a 1MW solar mini-grid with 3MWh of battery storage capacity built by Enerdeal and Congo Energy in the city of Manono, to supply the local population and SMEs. Enerkac has also developed a 1MW hybrid plant powering SNEL's Kananga mini-grid in Kasaï Central (non operational in 2019).
