Multinational - INGA Site Development and Electricity Access Support Project

The Inga Site Development and Electricity Access Support Project will contribute to finalise the Inga 3 Project preparation, and implement actions enhancing electricity access for the Central and Southern Africa regions. The Inga Project 3 entails implementing Grand Inga Phase A by developing a generating capacity of 4,800 MW on the Inga site, and building power transmission lines that supply the DRC and South Africa. Hence, this project is a continuation of the Bank’s previous support that led to the identification of an innovative approach which ensures the full developement of Inga's hydroelectric power potential and will contribute to promoting continental integration. This project is expected to facilitate the development of institutions and capacities to best structure the Inga 3 Project in order to select an investor-entrepreneur under a public private partnership. Improved access to electricity is also expected in the semi-urban aresa of Kinshasa and other provinces of the DRC as well as in Southern Africa. Implementation of the support project is expected to cover a period of five years for a total cost of UA 112.23 million.
