DRC President Felix Tshisekedi is today hosting African Union High Representative for Infrastructure Development Raila Odinga.
Odinga is set to review progress on the Grand Inga Hydropower project, an official said.
The meeting between the two leaders follows a high-level virtual multinational and multi-sector forum on the Grand Inga held in June last year.
Odinga is tasked to among other things rally political support for the Inga Hydropower as a continental project and to encourage expressions of interest by multinational corporations.
The Inga Dams are two hydroelectric dams connected to one of the largest waterfalls in the world, Inga Falls. They are located in the western Democratic Republic of the Congo and 140 miles southwest of Kinshasa. Inga Falls on the Congo River is a group of rapids downstream of the Livingstone Falls and the Pool Malebo.
The Grand Inga Dam is a series of seven proposed hydroelectric power stations at the site of the Inga Falls, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. If built as planned, the 40 GW project would be the largest power station in the world.
The total construction bill for Grand Inga has been calculated to be as high as $80 billion.
