powered facility will be supplied with fuel from the Sanaga Sud field which Ocelot is<br />

developing offshore southern Cameroon.<br />

• The Democratic Republic of Congo is planning to develop projects to expand the<br />

Inga hydroelectric facility located on the Congo River. The 2,000-MW Inga II plant<br />

and the 40,000-MW Grand Inga facility would be utilized primarily for power exports.<br />

The combined capacity of these two projects (42,000 MW, which equals 40 big nuke<br />

plants, or 100 big coal-fired power plants) is almost as large as Southern Africa’s<br />

current installed capacity. The Inga Dams on the Congo have the potential to power<br />

the entire continent of Africa and its future industrialisation and even sell excess<br />

electricity to Europe.<br />

• Three firms, EEF (Switzerland), Infra-Consult (Germany) and Medis (Belgium), have<br />

signed an agreement to rehabilitate the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Societé<br />

Nationale d’Electricité (SNEL) electricity system. The rehabilitation will include work<br />

on generation facilities in Kinshasa, as well as production and distribution in North<br />

countries who signed the Intergovernmental Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) now in<br />

force. Countries involved are: Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania,<br />

Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea and Egypt.<br />

This region is very little developed by the infrastructural point of view, also because of the<br />

numerous civil wars, that have almost all destroyed and impoverished the economy of many<br />

countries. Currently only Djibouti, Ethiopia and Uganda have some valid projects, while<br />

Kenya keeps on appraising a lot of possibilities, but in the practice take part almost in any<br />

project.<br />

However, the principals projects in this region are: [A09]<br />

• Electricité de Djibouti (EDD) plans to increase generating capacity by 20 MW with the<br />

purchase of four, 5-MW, diesel-powered generators. Purchase of the generators is
