Congo Epela displays the cheapest solutions to electrify all populated area of the DRC and other useful data for electrification analysis such as electricity demand, energy sources, electric networks. The tool is deliberately focused on electricity delivery to households through a combination of centralised (grid) and decentralised (mini-grids and solar panels) electrification solutions.

The tool is the result of the joint work of Resource Matters, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the University of Cape Town, the Reiner Lemoine Institute, and several Congolese civil society organisations of the Mwangaza Network and the Electricity Core Group.
