People and emissions
estimate when operating · not people connectedAbout 238 to 280 GWh a year at a 50% capacity factor (AEI technology benchmark).
Enough electricity for about 1.5 million to 1.8 million people at DR Congo's average use of 159 kWh a person (2024).
About 7,700 tonnes of CO2 a year avoided if it displaces average grid generation (28 g/kWh, 2024).
Grid power also serves business and industry, so the people figure is a comparison, not a count of connections. Sources: AEI capacity-factor benchmarks, Ember electricity data (CC-BY-4.0), World Bank population.
What Individual access adds to this project
Evidence-backed project record · $15/monthThe public record identifies Katende. Individual access gives you the research needed to assess its commercial position, subject to what has actually been disclosed.
- Counterparties and contracts. Recorded sponsors, offtaker and PPA terms, with source references and verification status where available.
- Financing and procurement. Disclosed CAPEX, debt, lenders, procurement packages, payment security and milestones; missing terms remain clearly marked.
- What to investigate next. Evidence gaps, dated project activity and linked comparable records to support a diligence decision.
Paid access adds the evidence layer; field status and package availability remain visible on each record.
