Grand Inga Too big to be constructed ?

For 60 years, in spite of the potential of the site, all previous schemes required considerable pre-investments in large civil works, making the first MW expensive. It was found that the minimum economically feasible size was 7000 MW. In 2011, Aecom-EDF was mandated by SNEL, with the funding of ADB, to optimize the Grand Inga site, considering the proposed Inga 3 project.
