Description: The DRC has extensive energy resources, including a potential hydroelectric capacity of approximately 100,000 MW. The Inga dam on the Congo River, alone, has a potential capacity of 40,000-45,000 MW, which could supply all of Southern Africa's electricity needs. Due to continuing political uncertainties and the resulting lack of investor interest, only a fraction of this amount has been developed.
