Solar Manufacturing in DRC: Targeting Mining & Telecom Sectors
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a nation with vast mineral wealth and immense economic potential, faces a fundamental challenge: a significant energy deficit. While the
The public version of the resulting report of the effort is available here. The Democratic Republic of Congo's national electric-ity access rate is estimated at 19%. Less than 1% of the rural population and 41% of the urban population has energy access. Of the country's 10 million house-holds, only 1.6 million have have access to electricity.
The DRC aims to connect 32% of the country to elec-tricity by 2030. Meeting this challenge will require co-ordinated efforts from various stakeholders, support-ive policies and regulations, and technical assistance support to prospective projects in order to attract in-vestments.
There is no interconnected national power transmis-sion network in the DRC, which is instead structured into three independent interprovincial grids. The western and southern grids are connected by a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) line. The eastern grid is more remote and will not be be connected.
Energy poverty is at-tributed to factors such as cost tariffs, poor utility per-formance and lack of financial viability, compounded by governance issues.
