According to International Rivers, the Grand Inga is the world’s largest proposed hydropower scheme.
It is the fourth and largest of a series of dams that have been built or are proposed for the lower end of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo .
Ms Malo agrees that financial incentives will help the completion of the project but warns that the sensitivity of the region must be taken into consideration given the country’s history of corruption, political instability and exploitation. Ms Malo asked the African Development Bank and any other financial institution not to finance this project until the existing dams are fully operational and a plan for maintaining the dams and transmission systems is in place.
However, when successfully implemented, the project will contribute immensely to the energy security of the DRC, and the continent as a whole and contribute greatly to rural electrification and regional economic cooperation.
