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.
