In the AC, Democratic Republic of the Congo supports an economy six-times larger than today’s with only 35% more energy by diversifying its energy mix away from one that is 95% dependent on bioenergy.
Hydroelectric power (See Annex 1) is the main energy resource of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The DRC ranks first in Africa in terms of its potential (100,000 MW), which accounts for 13% of the global hydropower potential.
Almost all electricity generation today comes from hydropower and the Inga project has the potential to provide much more. If network constraints are addressed, Democratic Republic of the Congo could become an electricity exporter.
The electricity access rate is 45 % in urban area and 5.6 % in rural area. The Government plans to bring this rate up to 90 % in urban areas and to 50 % in rural areas by 2015. The electric power sector in the Republic of the Congo is chiefly governed by Law No 14-2003 of April 10, 2003 on the Electricity Code, and by:
