The Goma Hybrid Solar plant in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is currently the largest off-grid mini-grid in the sub-Saharan Africa. The 1.3MW plant is one of four smart solar sites with a combined capacity of 1.693MW operated by Nuru. These plants combine three energy source: solar modules, batteries and diesel generators.
The cost of producing the solar is only 7 us cents per kW hr compared with 8 us cents per kWhr from the Inga 3 dam as estimated by the World Bank. In the SE the renewable energy has enormous potential from both private and commercial customers. In the area around Kinshasa there is a further 6 gW of solar available at 7 us cents per kW hr.
The three solar photovoltaic power station projects that won the bid this time are located in Kasai Province and Kasai Oriental Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The project construction mainly includes 800KWp photovoltaic power plant, 800kwh energy storage system and related supporting facilities of the power station.
Alternatively, many households find solutions in the form of solar home systems (SHS) which provide affordable, clean and reliable electricity where grid or mini-grid connections are not feasible. Fortunately, three companies are already making headway in the fight to improve livelihoods through off-grid solar solutions to increase the

Solar power could change energy consumption in Congo. - The Loudima family in Congo have long been without electricity but they have found an environmental solution: solar power. In the remote districts of Pointe Noire, the Congolese start-up Hélios Électricité has installed a solar power plant.
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%.
The plants are to be built by the Moyi Power joint venture and are expected to be completed within 18 months after the start of construction. 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.
In the area around Kinshasa there is a further 6 gW of solar available at 7 us cents per kW hr. There is also sufficient for the rural areas around Kinshasa, Mbandaka on the Congo river and the main port of Matadi. It can even be exported over the river to Brazzaville.
Even with new solar and wind DRC could only satisfy between 15 and 55% of total demand. This leaves between 45% and 85% needing offgrid power or 16 gW of installed solar capacity ! Same applies to clean water as only 23% have access.
An international consortium led by Powergrids plans to invest $100 million in three off-grid solar plants intended to power the cities of Gemena, Bumba, and Isiro, which are located in the country’s northern region and currently have no connection to the country’s power network.
