Congo DR energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Ministry of Energy and Hydraulic Resources controls the power sector.

  The Ministry of Hydrocarbons is in charge of oil and gas issues. The Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism is responsible for the management of forests.

  The energy policy is focussed on the electricity sector.

• Energy Companies
  
  Electricity:

  SNEL, the National Electricity Company, holds the monopoly on the production, transport and distribution of electricity.

  SINELAC, the Great Lakes International Electricity Company, a multinational company (Burundi, Rwanda, DRC) created to develop the hydroelectricity potential of the area of the Great Lakes, operates the dam of Ruzizi II.

• Energy Supply
  
  Resources:

  The country's main energy resource is hydroelectricity, with a very large potential of 100 000 MW (13% of the world's potential), located on the Congo River and its affluents, with more than 40% of that potential situated on the site of Inga. So far, only 3% of this hydroelectric potential has been developed. Moreover, the country has coal (88 Mt), oil (25 Mt) and uranium (1.8 Mt) reserves.

• Energy Consumption

  Energy consumption per capita is 0.4 toe, including around 90 kWh of electricity (2016).

  Biomass covers approximately 95% of the country's energy needs. Although it has a large surplus of firewood, the eastern part of the country, which is more populated, is subject to fast deforestation, just like the periphery of the cities.

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GNP growth, imports & exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil & gas reserves, electric & refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All detailed by energy source.
• Demand Indicators: Historical data includes consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source & sector, and, electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Unique tabular display of the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The Congo DR market data since 1990 included in the Excel file is given below.
Historical evolution allows to easily work with the data.

2016 Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Congo DR Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Congo DR energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
