Hydroenergy Potential in AFRICA

Hydropower Potential

Hydropower Potential  africa

Also within Africa the economically exploitable hydropower potentials are very big. Possibly the best site worldwide for hydropower is close to Inga at the Congo river.

Technically Exploitable Hydropower Capability
1999 (TWh/yr)
Technically Exploitable Hydropower  africa

The potential for hydroelectricity is overwhelmingly in central and eastern Africa.

Africa has a technically exploitable capability of 1,888 TWh/yr, of which 41% (or 774 TWh/yr) is in one country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, thanks to the mighty Congo River. Ethiopia, with its highlands, has a technically exploitable capacity of 260 TWh/yr and Cameroon 115 TWh/yr. Madagascar also has substantial potential capacity at 180 TWh/yr.
