– Energy security, a State priority

Energy is central to development. Monetizing natural gas through electricity generation is expected to bridge the country's energy deficit and provide a stable supply of electricity to its booming mining industry.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has long been making efforts to promote national energy development. The stated objective: an electrification rate of 301,000 people by 2024, compared to 191,000 people today. Despite enormous potential, a large portion of the national territory remains without electricity. Locally available natural gas offers an opportunity to strengthen electricity generation capacity in the short term and ensure stable, cheaper electricity for the DRC's industries and mining companies.
A Gas Master Plan (GMP) has been established to better develop and exploit the country's gas reserves, which amount to 238 billion cubic meters, the seventh largest in Africa. Natural gas is intended to support economic development and electrification.

Thus, methane from Lake Kivu could finally provide electricity to the Congolese people. It could also be used in the manufacture of chemical fertilizers for agriculture, as a heat source for cement plants, as domestic gas for cooking, and as fuel for transportation. Boosting the exploitation of methane gas from Lake Kivu is therefore a response to the energy needs of the country's two largest provinces, North and South Kivu.
In addition, several Congolese companies have joined forces to develop a power plant project in the Kongo-Central province, with gas supplied by the French oil group Perenco. Some of the electricity produced would then be sold to the mining industry in the former Grand Katanga region.
