- How DR Congo $80BN Grand Inga Dam will provide 40% of energy supply in Africa - The Grand Inga Dam project, touted as having the potential to supply green electricity to most of Africa have received a fresh boost, after Australian mining company Fortescue Metals Group, confirmed its alliance with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to invest in the development of the world's largest hydroelectric project in Africa. The Grand Inga Dam project is a proposed series of seven hydroelectric power stations near the Inga Falls in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The project is a colossal $80 billion enhancement of the existing 351 MW Inga 1 and 1,424 MW Inga 2 plants, which were completed in 1972 and 1982, respectively. The ultimate goal is to construct a complex capable of energy supply for the entire sub-Saharan region with a cumulative output capacity 42 GW electricity generation. Upon completion, the project would be the world's largest power plant and would generate more electricity than the world’s two biggest hydropower plants, Three Gorges in China and Itaipu in South America, combined.

A very big debt trap! Do like below instead.
For about 2B, not 80B, can get DRC 7 times more power, than the current
production.
You can just use 0,2B whit turbine and installation, and make a 20km
tunnel under the DRC Capital. And you increase DRC Hydroelectric production
from 8TWh to about 18TWh. Hydraulic head is 20m.
Do not forget that, you have one more Capital city 2miles away.
Grand Inga: You only need 6km tunnel to pass this waterfall. Make 3
tunnels for the price of about 0,2B, and get a Hydraulic head of 90meter. And
you can maybe make 40TWh a year.
And you can add on more tunnels and turbines, and maybe get 180TWh, without
making the largest and most expensive power plant ever.
Let’s add some grid, and put in a margin here, let’s say 2B, for
increasing DRC Hydroelectric power production from 8 to 58TWh. That is cheap.
And if you want more power laiter, you just make a copy off the then existing
plant, at the same location.
You got 41 000m3 a sec in each off this 2 waterfalls, or 64 Colorado
Rivers..

If developed correctly, it will take the DRC to the next level... But they must first bring infrastructure of roads and bridges for agriculture to flourish. RDC has everything to be a super power.
Yeah
You are right about their roads. They have a long way to go. But hopefully they will get there.
@@MaleAnkha regional power.
@@amberlight5830 why does there have to be competition between countries, we are as strong as the weakest link,we are all connected.
Industrial agriculture is non-sense in to fragile grounds. We'll have to study the local mycorhizae, how to exploit them to not need any pesticides, but such farming is...gardening. However, about one active on twelve dedicated in gardening can feed a whole nation, and deliver a lot of raw materials ; the excedent is of a very high quality. I could master it - but my body didn't stand it for other reasons - in reputated very poor soils in French Guyana, on podzol on An-Moor...in the town of Mana. But it seems necessary to exploit those that are present... I wasn't able to identify the mycorhize, but was perfectly able to use it ans maintain it...aunts, in stead of destroying my cassaba, watermelon, ...did destroy exclusively amaranthe, cabbage and cyperus, ...so I knew it were mycorhizae.....Productivity/m² is very important, several times more than industrial production, but transport in and off the field is harassing... Very few machines can be employed..

All the power in the world to the Congo, they deserve all of the world's success. The west, middle east and east is fighting as hard as possible to stymie their (and all of Africa's) progression. But I don't know man, that is a lot of debt... also too many projects that are one off. China has 40K dams and the DRC is working on one. Break that thing up so if one fails you have more in back up.

Its a debt trap. There are cheaper ways to do power generation. As a continent we also need to move away from contracting foreign firms for construction. Its too expensive
@@vawsonsfurniture Agre! Etiophia, have done work on thir themselfs (got some help the GERD yes, but) already. And this is a easy to build up competance in localy. Use super cheap drilling "robots" not superexpensive TBM). But maybe buy Turbines from the best (Gernany, USA, Norway, Sweden), because they extremt more reliable.
Yes !
We deserve all of the world's success 👍👍🙏🙏
God bless DR Congo, we are all africans blessed. From north to south, from east to west. We really need more projects like this one. Peace and love.

How come it can support other African countries with electricity and still most of the parts in congo is "blackout" with no electricity power🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Imagine what this kind of power will mean for manufacturing, mining and farming industries
Ethiopia's renaissance dam is almost the same in potentially powering East Africa. So far it's the only largest dam in Africa until Inga3 is built :)
As a Congolese, the problem with our african leaders is that they just keep their projects on papers. We need concrete actions! The Grand Inga Dam, located in western Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on the Congo River, is the world's largest proposed hydropower scheme
Wonderful! Eager to see it in completion. I can see African success soon after its completion
It’s a scary project. It’s a positive project to transform the lives in Africa.
Experience from South Africa is that this is a type of project which makes politicians salivate and increase the opportunities of corruption.
The South African suspended nuclear project of 9600MW was approximately the same price as this and it was way too expensive for South Africa.
Does DRC have $80bn? I estimate that The interest cost of this project over 20 years would dry up foreign currency reserves of the DRC.
The environmental cost is not zero.
The involvement of foreigners (non Africans) in such a massive project raises my suspicions.
Electricity is a necessary product in Africa. I pray that we do this project cost efficiently,(Broad definition) peacefully and free of corruption.
Thanks Twiggy if Africa can unite and build infrastructure like this it would be another China
But without the concentration camps like the ones in China for the Uyghurs.
@@acacius9903 that is a silly shallow comment
@@maxsweetman6341 Silly and shallow? Millions are suffering in East Turkmenistan and you are here talking nonsense. Boy bye. I hope Africa kicks out China soon too.
@Min Sooi Choo China will be remembered as the genocide perpetrators and they will have to be stopped by at least half of the world.
The only reason they are able to do the genocide on the Uyghurs is because Muslims are not united. But they will eventually and China will be sorry for this genocide on the Uyghurs.
Interesting when the proyect was presented by Spain and China it was considered ecologically wrong for the President, but when it was presented by an Australian company, it was considered OK.
The biggest Hydroelectric power plant in Australia produces only 1,500 gw, the three gorges dam produces 15 times more, who has more experience?
Providing inexpensive and reliable energy is the fundamental path to modernity and human flourishing.
Hopefully this will finally benefit Congolese people they way Inga 1 and 2 never did: power was exported up to Japan, but most Congolese remained powerless. I know this too well, since my father was the main project engineer for those first two centrals in the Mobutu times.
Same script different writer.
80 billions??? Come on, let's rethink about this. The country is already bankrupt. Where will they get the money to finance this expensive project?
We the new generation should come together and support one another its one Africa

This is a blessing for the African continent. Africa has enough water power to supply hydroelectric power to the entire continent. Move up Mother Africa.
Now is the time to sing the song of Bob Marly. AFRICAN UNITE
Wow, DR. Congo's electric dam project to augment Africa's power supply is going to be the game changer.
80 bn is way too much for a dam, don’t you mean 8 bn? That would be more reasonable. However, good luck Congo! Wish you all the best!
just take a second to appreciate the scale of a dam that has the potential to clean supply power to 40% of Africa. a continent that has nowhere enough power right now. and the dam takes place in stages so you slowly make it better
It's sheer size is humongous
The money to gain from building it amount to 50trillion dollars. At least watch the video before your criticize the project.
It's for the whole project, not just one dam though
Trust me the amount of money that they can make is a lot of more then $80b
Those Australian mining companies are No Good.
So what do you suggest?
