Inga Dam Hydropower Project

The Inga Dam Hydropower Project is a flagship initiative of PIDA that focuses on harnessing the hydropower potential of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The project aims to develop a series of hydropower plants in the Inga region, with the ultimate goal of creating the largest hydropower complex in the world. The Inga Dam project has the potential to generate significant amounts of clean and renewable energy, estimated at around 40,000 megawatts. This project has the capacity to provide electricity to millions of people across the African continent and support industrial development
The project is currently in the feasibility stage (S2B) and has garnered interest from the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the World Bank during the BPREF CEMAC round table in Paris in April 2020.
