This is new information we have just picked up so it is to start from here and we find out more about it, that is why I posted it largely.

The Congo River traverses the continent of Africa, ending its journey in the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where it spills 1.5 million cubic feet
per second into the Atlantic Ocean. Now, plans are underway to harness this
tremendous force of water in what promises to be the worlds largest
hydropower scheme, The Grand Inga.
The Grand Inga Hydropower Project could produce up to 40,000 megawatts (MW)
of electricity, more than twice the power generated by the current most
powerful dam in the worldthe Three Gorges Dam in Chinaand more than a
third of the electricity currently produced in all of Africa. Yet despite
the Grand Inga Projects location in the DRC, a country where only 10
percent of the population has access to electricity, the majority of the
generated power is set to flow to industries, manufacturing and urban
consumers in far-away South Africa.
Rudo Sanyanga, Africa Program Director of International Rivers, recently
visited the DRC and the proposed dam site.
The Bundu Valley (that will be flooded to create a reservoir for the power
plants) is largely a natural landscape interspaced with cultivated fields
belonging to communities that live nearby, Sanyanga told mongabay.com.
These communities will have to be resettled. The resettled people will face
many social impactsthey will need to adjust to new life if the new area is
different, and they will have to learn new means of livelihoods. The details
of social impacts will depend on the resettlement plan and compensation (if
any) that these people will receive. The general people in DRC will really
not benefit from the Grand Inga and may be impoverished as they incur an
additional debt burden.
