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 cooperation with the Republic of the Congo and UNIDO, we have developed the Centre d'Excellence d'Oyo for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. This centre aims to become a reference point for energy transition in Central Africa and promote applied research and skills development in the field of renewable energy, biomass and clean cooking solutions. The Oyo Centre thus contributes to strengthening the link between energy, water and food, which is fundamental for economic, environmental and social development. With the construction of two new power plants, we have made electricity distribution between Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville even more efficient and expanded public lighting through the installation of streetlights. The Congo Power Plant (CEC) now supplies about 70% of the country’s electricity generation. Our access-to-energy programme also underpins the Hinda Integrated Project, delivering electricity to various centers powered by solar panels. The use of solar power makes it possible to reach off-grid rural communities while curbing greenhouse-gas emissions.

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.
