<p>The overall objective of the project is to generate 11 050 MW at Inga site by building a hydropower plant with transmissions lines within DRC and across borders. Transmissions lines are designed to connect with South Africa through SAPP power lines. In the western part of DRC, transmission lines could link with Nigeria and Angola. In particular the project will: Contribute to the realization of the NEPAD objectives of increased power interconnections across Africa; Facilitate trade in power between SAPP and DRC; Promote economic development in DRC,SAPP, Central African Power Pool and WAPP; Contribute to job creations in DRC and all power pool countries involved in the project;. Technical Features: Installed capacity: 11 050 MW Number of dams: 2. Transmission lines: Inside DRC 2 000 km long. Outside DRC: 3 000 km long.</p>
Description
<p>This project involves the construction of a 11050 MW Inga 3 hydropower project on the Congo River. The project is seen as the leading clean, affordable and development option to address the challenges of energy access in Africa. It reaches beyond energy access as it would also create local employment and income opportunities and would help stabilise the political conditions in the African countries involved through cross-border cooperation in Africa and beyond.</p>
