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 and Sustainable Development is responsible for the management of forests and climate change.

  The energy policy is focused on increasing the electrification rate (target of 100% of the population with electricity in ...

• Energy Companies
  
  Electricity:

  SNEL, the public national electricity company, is the main actor in the production, transport, and distribution of electricity. It had the monopoly until the liberalisation of the market in 2014. Some private companies have been created since then. The privatization of SNEL is under discussion, following the same strategy used to improve the power sector and service for the population ...

• 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 tributaries, 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 (29 Mt) and uranium (1.4 Mt) ...

• Energy Consumption

  Energy consumption per capita is 0.4 toe, including around 90 kWh of electricity (2018).

  Total consumption has increased by 2%/year since 2012.

  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 ...
