The completion ceremony of the Bousanga Hydropower Station in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which was invested and constructed by Chinese enterprises, was held on the 5th, with the presence and ribbon cutting of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo. On the same day, during his inspection of the Bousanga hydropower station located in Lualaba Province, Chisekdi highly affirmed the project's modern equipment, advanced technology, and operational capabilities. Zisekdi visited facilities such as the diversion dam, generator room, and central control room of the hydropower station. In the control room, Zisekdi personally pressed the main button for the operation of the generator set, and the impeller of the generator set slowly rotated. The generator indicator light lit up, marking the official start of power generation at the Bousanga hydropower station. The Minister of Water Resources and Electricity of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Olivier Mwenze Mukaren, stated at the ceremony that electricity is a necessity for the country. The Bousanga hydropower station is a fruitful achievement of cooperation between Congo and China, which will assist the modernization development process of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Chinese Ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zhao Bin, stated in his speech that the Bousanga hydropower station not only provides electricity for the production of local mining enterprises, but also serves the electricity consumption of surrounding residents, playing an important role in the local economic and social development. Both China and Congo are major developing countries with strong economic complementarity and a broad and solid foundation for cooperation. We believe that China's advanced technology, high-end equipment, rich experience, and sufficient investment will undoubtedly inject strong impetus into the comprehensive development of the Congo (DRC) economy. The Busangjia Hydropower Station is jointly invested and constructed by China Railway Resources Group Co., Ltd. and China Power Construction Group Overseas Investment Co., Ltd. The total investment of the hydropower station is 656 million US dollars, with a storage capacity of 1.3 billion cubic meters in the reservoir area and a total installed capacity of 240 megawatts.
