To reduce water pollution in the Republic of Congo, solar-powered filtration systems have been installed to purify water.
The public version of the resulting report of the effort is available here. The Democratic Republic of Congo’s national electric-ity access rate is estimated at 19%. Less than 1% of the rural population and 41% of the urban population has energy access. Of the country’s 10 million house-holds, only 1.6 million have have access to electricity.
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.
DRC has benefited from several grant-making and concessional financing schemes that have helped to unlock private capital for the off-grid solar sector. In 2021, the Swedish investment platform (Trine) en-tered a partnership with Altech, a leading company in the distribution sustainable energy products and ser-vices18.
