"A crucial step has been taken toward the start of Inga III," Bruno Kapandji, the head of Congo's Agency for the Development and Promotion of the Grand Inga Project, or ADPI, said by email."Inga III is becoming a reality. The unification is part of the exclusive development agreement that was signed in 2018."
At the same time, Congo"remains open to receiving other developers that have the required capacity and proven experience with similar projects", Mr Kapandji said. Nobody answered the phone at the offices of China Three Gorges in Beijing while emails to China Three Gorges and State Grid weren't immediately answered. A spokesperson of AEE Power Holdings declined to comment.

The Chinese and Spanish groups believe the smaller plant isn't economically viable.For daily updates on weekdays and specially selected content for the weekend.
