CONGO’S $14BN DAM PROJECT THREATENED BY DISAGREEMENTS
Serious disagreements between groups of Spanish and Chinese developers that want to build an 11,000-MW hydropower plant in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) may scuttle plans for the $14-billion project, according to a report.
The Inga III dam would be the biggest hydroelectric power station on Africa’s second-longest river and provide much-needed electricity to Congo and other nations, including South Africa.
After the Congolese government in 2017 asked two competing groups – one Chinese, one Spanish – to merge, the partners submitted a joint proposal in November last year.https://www.wiform.co.za/2019/10/congos-14bn-dam-project-threatened-by-disagreements/
