SNEL announces a 143-megawatt floating power plant to strengthen electricity supply in Kinshasa

SNEL plans to deploy a floating power plant capable of generating 143 megawatts to improve electricity supply in Kinshasa and surrounding provinces. The plant, installed on a ship, could be operational within a month to help alleviate frequent power outages in the capital. This additional capacity would account for about 20% of the current 600-megawatt supply in Kinshasa. The company faces financial challenges, including inadequate tariffs and unpaid bills, affecting its ability to manage electricity distribution.
