Solar power could change energy consumption in Congo. - The Loudima family in Congo have long been without electricity but they have found an environmental solution: solar power. In the remote districts of Pointe Noire, the Congolese start-up Hélios Électricité has installed a solar power plant.
The DRC aims to connect 32% of the country to elec-tricity by 2030. Meeting this challenge will require co-ordinated efforts from various stakeholders, support-ive policies and regulations, and technical assistance support to prospective projects in order to attract in-vestments.
The DRC is expected to produce 16,050 tons of elec-trical and electronic waste, according to a study car-ried out by the Belgian group, Groupe One. There are currently no regulations or legislative frameworks concerning e-waste.
There is no interconnected national power transmis-sion network in the DRC, which is instead structured into three independent interprovincial grids. The western and southern grids are connected by a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) line. The eastern grid is more remote and will not be be connected.

Flywheels store the energy created by turning an internal rotor at high speeds-slowing the rotor releases the energy back to the grid when needed. Beacon Power is redesigning the heart of the flywheel, eliminating the cumbersome hub and shaft typically found at its center. When excess electricity is available, it is used to accelerate a flywheel to a very high speed. The energy is stored as kinetic energy and can be retrieved by slowing down the flywheel. . Flywheel energy storage is a mechanical energy storage technology that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to enhance the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy systems.
