53 billion FCFA, the facilities are located in Itatolo, Brazzaville and Mongo-Kamba II in Pointe-Noire. . Funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) for 2. . Energy storage systems (ESS) serve as a pivotal solution for enhancing the reliability of power supply, particularly within a nation like Congo, which grapples with intermittent energy access. By acting as a buffer, storage systems can absorb excess energy during periods of low demand and release. . On a recent August morning the cavernous hangars of Mongo Kamba II, tucked behind the industrial bustle of Pointe-Noire's fourth arrondissement, offered a glimpse of a power system in transformation. Yet the hand-over of two purpose-built warehouses to Energie Électrique du Congo (E2C) on 28 July in Brazzaville was staged with the ceremonial solemnity usually reserved for power-plant inaugurations. Operational since Q2 2023, this 560MWh lithium-ion facility supports 20% of the city's peak demand.
