Congo - Kinshasa's electricity consumption remains markedly low, with the nation generating just over 16 TWh of low-carbon electricity in 2023. The majority of this clean energy comes from hydropower, contributing around 14 TWh, while solar generation has grown to slightly above 2 TWh. Additionally. The modern substation for the Inga I and II power plants on the Congo River significantly stabilises the electricity supply. The electricity supply in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is unreliable and does not cover demand. It is not uncommon for government employees to climb five flights of stairs. Kinshasa Thermal Power Station, also Kinshasa Plastics Waste–To–Energy Plant, is a planned plastics -fired thermal power plant in the city of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with an estimated population of 15 million inhabitants, as of August 2021. Developed as a private sector.
