DR Congo: Revised Inga plan looks to the biggest of big deals

While DRC locals wait for access to sustainable energy, the government is getting excited about massive Inga dam developments which in the past have attracted attention to the detriment of smaller schemes. After President Félix Tshisekedi took the African Union (AU) revolving presidency on 6 February, a European analyst commented it was “an open secret that he will be trying to use this position to seek support for the Inga III project, and beyond that for the Great Inga projects.”
