[edit] Introduction

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. On the eastern borders lie Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi & Tanzania (with Lake Tanganyika separating the borders). The South Atlantic Ocean is to the west of the country, with Angola to the south-west & Zambia to both the south and the south-east.

DRC Map

[edit] Energy Situation

[edit] Overview of the Country's Energy Sources

The DRC's potential to generate energy is high, having a wide range of both renewable and non-renewable energy sources^[1]. The DRC's potential renewable sources are hydropower, biomass, solar, wind and geothermal, while the non-renewables would be oil, natural gas & uranium^[1]. Approximatrely 9% of the country's generated domestic power comes from hydropower, specially the two Inga dams (Inga I & Inga II)^[1]^[2].

convert: no images defined `/tmp/transform_175f643-1.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3044.

DRC's Ingas

While the country has abundancy for hydro-based power generation, the country's production of different fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas is modest and very limited^[2]. The DRC's total hydropower capacity is about 100,000 MW, with the Inga damn solely counting for 40,000-45,000 MW^[3].

[edit] Energy Access

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^[3]^[4].

DRC's total energy access 1990-2017 (Tracking SDG7, 2019)

Though the access rates have gone up by the year 2017, as the population with access went up from 11% in 2009 to 19%, yet the access rates in the country still alarming, especially in the rural areas where about only 4% have access to electricity, and no proper efforts have been made or taken to increase the access rate or improve the situation.

DRC's rural energy access 1990-2017 (Tracking SDG7, 2019)

[edit] Production

Hydropower comes as the number one and major energy supplier in the country, with biomass (wood & agricultural residues) and oil as the secondary ones^[3]. 99% of the DRC's produced electricity comes from hydropower, while both oil and gas account for the remaining 1%^[3].

As mentioned earlier, the country possesses a significant potential for renewable power generation, which is illustrated further as follows^[6]:

Hydropower: For which the Congo River is the main source, with an average flow rate 42,000 m³/s.
Biogas: Coming mainly from both plant and animal waste.
Solar: The DRC has noticeably high solar radiation averaging 6 kWh/m²/day.
Wind: There exist several potential hotspot for moderate wind power harnessing, where the wind speed averaging 6-6.6m/s.
On the eastern parts of the DRC, there are many active volcanoes and geothermal sites, which significantly gives the country huge potential for this particular sort of energy.

The previous figure shows the rate which represents the ratio of the renewable energy consumption of the country's total final consumption from the 1990s until 2015. As shown, during that period, the renewables consumption has never been less than 92%, which comes mainly from hydropower.

[edit] Hydropower

Though hydropower resources in the country are considered to be the highest in the African continent, counting up to 774 GWh of potential generating capacity, yet the current exploitation rate of these resources does not exceed 3% of that total potential^[9].

Therefore, few projects have been initiated recently by the government, so that the hydropower generation can be improved, such as^[6]:

Supplying the country's remote and isolated regions, thus by implementing a decentralized micro hydropower station.
Rehabilitating and maintaining both the existent hydropower plants and transmission lines.

[edit] Solar

With an average solar radiation of 6 kWh/m2/day, the DRC has great potential for implementing photovoltaics (PV) and solar heating systems through the entire country^[6]. Yet, that's not the case, as through the whole country there are only a total of 836 installed solar PV systems, accounting altogether for a total operating power of 83 kW^[6].

[edit] Clean Cooking

More than 90% of the population rely on biomass (charcoal, firewood) for cooking. In Kinshasa and Kisangani alone 4.9 million m3 of firewood was traded whic exceeds the official volume of biomass traded by 12 times. Cooking is mostly carried out by women in DRC, however, fuel and stove companies are often run by men. Read more

[edit] Fossil Fuels

[edit] Oil

There are proven oil reserves in the country's western coastal basin, in addition to other unexplored two basins^[6]. The DRC ranked as the 2nd largest country with oil reserves in Africa, following Angola, back in the year 2009, with about 180 million barrels worth of reserves^[6].

During 2017, the country's production of crude oil averaged 19160 bbl/day, and in 2015, its export average of the same product was about 20000 bbl/day^[7].

DRC's final consumption of crude oil and oil products 1990-2016 (IEA, 2019)

Despite the significant production capacity of crude oil in the DRC, there exist no refineries in the countries^[6]. 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)^[6].

[edit] Key Problems of the Energy Sector

Even though the DRC possesses prosperous and varied resources for energy generation, the energy sector still falls far behind. This is due to the many problems, which the energy sector faces. In order to expand, improve and develop the country's energy sector, these challenges need to be mitigated and fixed. Some of these challenges are listed below^[3]^[6]^[10]:

Uncertainty of the country's political situation.
Lack of investment interest.
Unreliability of current electricity grids.
Lack of proper management & governance of the energy sector.
Insufficiency of the current energy supply.
The very poor operating and maintenance conditions of the country's energy sector and power systems.
Lack of needed funds and both financial and technical skills.
Lack of needed proper policies for the implementation of more renewable energy projects.
Lack of technological advancements.
Instability of the economic situation in the country.
The low level of both proper awareness and needed educational background.
Absence of a regulatory agency
Absence of a Rural Electrification Agency
High taxes, VAT, and import duties
