Expanding energy supply by promoting and securing investment in the DRC: ARE marks the launch of phase one of the Kamoa-Kakula solar park, a sign of a highly bankable electricity market

Hydraulic Resources and Electricity Minister Aimé Molendo Sakombi inaugurated phase one of the Kamoa-Kakula solar park in Lualaba on October 16, 2026. The 430 MW project attracted $522 million in private funding and brings together Kamoa Copper, CrossBoundary Energy and GreenWorld Énergie. ARE Director General Soraya Aziz Moto described the project as evidence of the Congolese electricity market’s appeal and of the role predictable regulation plays in securing investment. She also praised the support of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, the minister and Lualaba Governor Fifi Masuka Saini.
