Abstract: The Democratic Republic of Congo is facing a dramatic electricity crisis. For the population, the access to electricity is 1% in rural areas, 30% for cities and 9% nationally. Energy supply based on renewable energy source is one of the promising solutions for now or in the future to deal with the limited fossil fuel resources as well as the emission of harmful waste.
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

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is located in the central part of African countries. It is currently considered to be the second-largest country in Africa after Algeria with an area of 2,344,799 km 2 for a population estimated at 80 million inhabitants. It includes one of the most important sources of natural wealth on the planet (Samndong & Nhantumbo, 2015).

The Republic of the Congo''s energy sector is ripe for investment. The absence of reliable power grids and adequate electrical distribution has a dampening effect on investment and development, as potential investors typically provide their own power generation to operate effectively. Electricity production cannot keep up with demand, and the

Insecurity for the Democratic Republic of the Congo By Mark Z. Jacobson, Stanford University, October 22, 2021 This infographic summarizes results from simulations that demonstrate the ability of Congo, DR to match all-purpose energy demand with wind-water-solar (WWS) electricity and heat supply, storage, and demand response continuously every 30 seconds for three
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).
Providing all households of the 26 provincial capitals of DRC access to grid electricity through a mix of mid-sized hydro and solar power plants would cost approximately USD 10.5 billion in CAPEX. This would raise the access rate to about a third of the population, at a cost equivalent to 30% of GDP.
Vast land areas with high-quality solar resource are found in the three regions of DRC. The best potential is located where unmet demand is the highest along the Eastern border and in the Eastern half of the South-Western region (Map 8).
The extractive industry accounted for 20% of the DRC's economic growth in real terms in 20154 and 97.5% of exports. It requires large quantities of fuel and electricity for extraction and conversion of metallic ores.
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.
To better understand present and future electricity demand in the DRC, a concerted effort by public agencies and donors, under the leadership of the Ministry of Energy and Hydraulic Resources to collect better data will be needed, as will a flexible approach to quickly factor evolving demand growth.
