In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Electricity Regulatory Authority (ARE) has issued three compliance notices to two operators in the energy and mining sectors. GREEN WORLD ENERGIE SARL received two notices, one for an independent electricity production license from a 200 MW solar photovoltaic plant with a 581 MWh storage system in Mutshatsha, Lualaba, and another for an electricity marketing license.

These licenses are part of a Power Purchase Agreement with KAMOA COPPER SA. The project aims to reduce CO₂ emissions by 75,750 tons annually and create nearly 300 jobs. The third compliance notice went to CNMC Congo Compagnie Minière SARL, granting it eligible customer status for its site in Likasi, Haut-Katanga, allowing it to source electricity from alternative suppliers to support its copper operations while committing to local socio-economic development.
