The French Development Agency (AFD) spent a week evaluating its projects to improve electrical infrastructure and service quality in the Republic of the Congo. The delegation, led by Shan Yunfei, head of the energy project team for Africa, presented the agency’s priorities at a press conference in Brazzaville on 16 October, reports Lasemaineafricaine.
The priority investment programme of Énergie électrique du Congo (E2C), the national electricity company, includes rehabilitating the 110 kV line between Mindouli and Moukoukoulou, as well as associated substations. The AFD is financing the project with a €46 million loan, supplemented by €3 million earmarked under the Debt Reduction and Development Contract (C2D).
