Renewable energy potential in DRC

Taking advantage of the Democratic Republic of the Congo''s (DRC''s) significant solar energy potential, renewable energy developer, Bboxx, and telecommunications operator, Orange Telecom, partnered this month for the launch of a solar mini-grid project in the Central African country that aims to connected over 600 households to clean energy solutions by the

Optimal design and sizing of a multi-microgrids system:

The base system needs an initial capital of 17,500,000 £ and will have a net present cost (NPC) of 20, 100,000 £. The operational and maintenance cost is 200,999 £ per year and the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is 0.161 £ per kWh. The lowest cost system containing only the generator requires an initial capital of 12,700,000 £.
