Hydropower: For which the Congo River is the main source, with an average flow rate 42,000 m 3 /s. Biogas: Coming mainly from both plant and animal waste. Solar: The DRC has noticeably high solar radiation averaging 6 kWh/m 2 /day.
According to the latest figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency, DR Congo only had 20 MW of installed PV capacity at the end of 2020. The country has one of the lowest levels of access to electricity in the world, with only 9% of the population being supplied with power. This percentage in rural areas drops to as far as 1%.
It comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is in the center of sub-Saharan Africa. DRC is bordering the Central African Republic to the north, the Republic of Congo to the north-west & South Sudan to the north-east.
Hydropower comes as the number one and major energy supplier in the country, with biomass (wood & agricultural residues) and oil as the secondary ones . 99% of the DRC's produced electricity comes from hydropower, while both oil and gas account for the remaining 1% .
Therefore, the DRC exports all of its oil production capacity, and imports all the refined products such as gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, aviation gas, fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) . Even though the DRC possesses prosperous and varied resources for energy generation, the energy sector still falls far behind.
The DRC's total hydropower capacity is about 100,000 MW, with the Inga damn solely counting for 40,000-45,000 MW . A decade ago, during the year 2009, 89% of DRC's total population did not have access to electricity, leaving only 11% with access, while 94% of the population were completely dependent on biomass as the main cooking fuel .
