The French Development Agency (AFD) is overseeing a 46 million euro loan in the Republic of the Congo to rehabilitate the 110 kV Mindouli-Moukoukoulou power line and associated substations, according to AFD Congo. The funding is part of the priority investment programme of Energie électrique du Congo (E2C), the state-owned company that operates the national electricity network.
The programme also includes an IT component and receives an additional 3 million euros under the Debt Reduction and Development Contract (C2D), a mechanism that converts debt into project funding. The AFD is also studying ways to improve management of the distribution networks in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire.
The week-long mission, led by Shan Yunfei, head of the AFD’s energy project team for Africa, was presented on 16 October 2026 at a press conference in Brazzaville. It also aimed to identify new opportunities for intervention. It follows the assessment of the AFD’s electricity projects in the Republic of the Congo presented on 20 October.
