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.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) presents a complex investment landscape characterized by substantial opportunities in its resource-rich sectors, juxtaposed with persistent challenges related to governance, security, and infrastructure.
The public version of the resulting report of the effort is available here. The Democratic Republic of Congo's national electric-ity access rate is estimated at 19%. Less than 1% of the rural population and 41% of the urban population has energy access. Of the country's 10 million house-holds, only 1.6 million have have access to electricity.
Solar energy, with its promising prospects, could reach up to 746 TWh per year if fully exploited. Biomass and natural gas also represent high-potential sectors, although their development is still limited. However, the DRC still faces significant challenges: reducing network losses, modernizing aging infrastructure, and attracting more investment.
The objective is to celerate access to energy in the DRC by highlighting the use of off-grid energy in the provinces of Kivu, Ituri and Tshopo. The funding may be extended to other areas of the DRC.
