Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings. Congo: How much of the country's energy comes from nuclear power?
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.
DRC access to electricity is at only 19 % out of the DRC's 84 million people have access to electricity with 41% in urban and 1.1% in rural areas. Lack of access to modern electricity services impairs the health, education, and income-generating potential of the population.
The country is one of the least densely populated in Africa, with 14.8 inhabitants per square kilometer. Covered mainly by tropical forests, the Republic of Congo is home to one of the largest areas of tropical peatlands, a fragile ecosystem that plays a crucial role in climate regulation.
