The Integrated Project is a large-scale model we are developing in the Republic of the Congo to expand energy access for the population and create local and regional industrial development opportunities. With the natural gas produced from the Marine XII and M'Boundi fields, we supply the Centrale electrique de Djéno (CED) and the Centrale Electrique du Congo (CEC). As part of the same initiative, we contribute to upgrading the electric transmission infrastructure in the area and expanding the distribution network.

Access to energyOur integrated model for energy access
In collaboration with the Republic of the Congo and UNIDO, we have developed the Oyo Centre of Excellence for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, which became fully operational in 2025. This centre aims to become a benchmark for the energy transition in Central Africa and to promote applied research and skills development in the fields of renewable energy, biomass and clean cooking solutions. The Oyo Centre thus contributes to the energy-water-food nexus, which is fundamental to economic, environmental and social development.
With the completion of the two power stations, we have managed to make the distribution of electricity between the cities of Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville even more efficient and to expand public lighting through the installation of street lamps. In 2025, the CEC power station generated 2.4 TWh, equivalent to approximately 50% of the electricity produced in the country. The energy access programme also underpins the success of the Hinda Integrated Project, ensuring electricity supply to various centres powered by solar panels. The use of solar energy makes it possible to reach rural communities not connected to the grid and, at the same time, to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

In collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano, we developed and tested a tool to assess the project’s direct and indirect effects on the quality of life of the local community.
