Enterprise Power DRC SARL

Enterprise Power DRC Sàrl (EnPower or EPDRC) is a private power trading company operating across the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), with a primary focus on supplying electricity to the mining sector in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Zambia.

The company holds a SAPP Market Participant Membership, a Standard Electricity Trading licence in Zambia, and DRC power utility and import licences, authorizing operations across the electricity value chain including generation, transmission, and distribution. It has been actively trading and supplying power to DRC mining companies since August 2023, supported by agreements such as a 2021 Power Supply Agreement with ZESCO in Zambia and 2023 power purchase and wheeling arrangements with DRC miners and SNEL.

EnPower is developing the Kalumbila-Kolwezi Interconnector Project (KKIP), a 200 km 330 kV high-voltage transmission line connecting Zambia and the DRC's Copperbelt, in partnership with FIS-RDC, Trafigura, and Gridworks to increase import capacity up to 550 MW initially. Owned by a combination of international and local interests, the company leverages expertise in electricity trading, project finance, development, engineering, and construction. It serves as a key private-sector player addressing energy shortages for industrial offtakers in the DRC mining region within the regional SAPP framework.
