Jean Marie Takouleu A myriad of investors including independent power producers (IPPs) and banks are joining forces to build a solar photovoltaic power plant in Kolwezi, in the south-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). With an expected capacity of 100 MWp, the plant will be connected to the DRC's national electricity grid.
The plants are to be built by the Moyi Power joint venture and are expected to be completed within 18 months after the start of construction. According to the latest figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency, DR Congo only had 20 MW of installed PV capacity at the end of 2020.
With an expected capacity of 100 MWp, the plant will be connected to the DRC's national electricity grid. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is at the centre of a solar photovoltaic energy project.
According to the latest figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency, DR Congo only had 20 MW of installed PV capacity at the end of 2020. The country has one of the lowest levels of access to electricity in the world, with only 9% of the population being supplied with power. This percentage in rural areas drops to as far as 1%.
The Lualaba province, where the city is located, has large deposits of copper, cobalt, uranium and radium. According to the IFC, the investment in the 100 MWp solar project underscores “its commitment to innovative early-stage energy projects and the DRC government’s efforts to increase and diversify its power generation.
The future solar power plant will also extend the national grid, thereby increasing the level of electrification in the DRC. More than 80% of the population of this Central African country still does not have access to electricity according to the World Bank. Jean Marie Takouleu
