The public version of the resulting report of the effort is available here. The Democratic Republic of Congo's national electric-ity access rate is estimated at 19%. Less than 1% of the rural population and 41% of the urban population has energy access. Of the country's 10 million house-holds, only 1.6 million have have access to electricity.
As a result, over 28,000 households and businesses in eastern DRC will have access to more affordable and reliable electricity. “Though it was a complicated transaction, MIGA worked diligently to innovate and provide guarantees to de-risk this metro-grid investment,”said Jessica Stiefler, Senior Underwriter and Distributed Energy Lead at MIGA.
The DRC aims to connect 32% of the country to elec-tricity by 2030. Meeting this challenge will require co-ordinated efforts from various stakeholders, support-ive policies and regulations, and technical assistance support to prospective projects in order to attract in-vestments.
However, persistent conflicts and a challenging political and economic environment have made infrastructure development difficult. With an electrification rate of just 19%, DRC has the second-highest number of people globally — about 77 million — without access to electricity. Less than 2% of rural areas are electrified.
It"s the latest in a series of global projects to use battery storage and related advanced energy equipment to reduce fuel costs, fuel import logistics, grid electricity costs and carbon footprints
