Mugomba Hydropower Project
Overview
Summary
The project is for development of hydropower scheme of 40MW in Eastern DRC. This 40 MW site is located on the Luholu River in the Lubero district, approximately on the equator, and North-east from Lubero. This site would be convenient to supply the Bukavu-Goma-Beni transmission line. In the ONRD 1972 study, the site ranked second best after Sisi on the Ruzizi River. Given the medium size and convenient location, as well as being potentially economic, this site was recommended for further evaluation. The project was at reconnaissance phase.
The estimated cost is US$87.6millions
