What Is ICOLD?

International Commission

On Large Dams wasfounded in Paris in 1928.

Initially ICOLD was a

commission of the WEC

Currently comprised of85 countries

and 10,000 individual members

Engineering Companies, Consultants,Builders, Development companies,

Scientists, Researchers, Engineers,University Professors, Governments,Financial Institutions, Associations..

What does ICOLD do?

ICOLD leads the profession in setting guidelines toensure that dams are built safely, economically, and

in an environmentally and socially sustainable

manner. .

What does ICOLD do?

Forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience9 Congress every 3 years

9Annual meeting in a different country each year Next meeting in St Petersburg in June 24-27 2007

Publications of nearly one century of knowledge9 Congress Proceedings, Symposia, Bulletins

9 Dictionary, Dams Registers, Guidelines

Permanent search for progress9 24 Technical Committees, 500 experts on specific themes

Promotion of dams for developing countries

9 Heightening decision-makers and investors awareness,9 Prospecting for financing, Technical support

Main Dams Benefits

Flood Regulation

Large Supply of Drinking Water

Agriculture Development

Cheap and Clean Electricity

Replacing Polluting Energies

Reducing Deforestation

Tourism and Fish Breeding

In many cases Large Dams have proved to be sustainabledevelopment tools for:

Electricity in Africa

in Africa, 70% of the people live withoutelectricity

8% of the hydroelectrical potential is exploited

Grand Inga hydroelectric potential is more than 280 TWh ..


12/19

The bigger the dams,

the less costly.


13/19

Interests of Grand Inga dam

High Power Capacity around 40 000 MW

Regularity of the flow more than 7 000 h / year

Large production capacity More than 280 TWh / year

Exceptional cost of kWh generated less than 0,01 $ / kWh

Small impacts on Environment

Grand Inga will save more than 100 million Tons of fossil fuel each year

Average costs of Electricity

Solar 0.40 1.00 $/kWh

Fuel 0.15 0.30 $/kWh

Wind 0.10 0.15 $/kWh

Gas (CC) 0.04 0.07 $/kWh

Coal 0.03 0.05 $/kWh

Nuclear 0.03 0.04 $/kWh

Hydro (Large) 0.02 0.05 $/kWh

Grand Inga less than 0,01 $/kWh

Hydropower potential in Africa

60 % of the African hydropower potential of 1100 TWh is concentrated

on 3 countries :

RDC 400 TWhEthiopia 160 TWhCameroon 100 TWh

3 among the 4 largest dams in the world are African but the largest

African Power plant is only at the 30th rank in the world

Grand Inga will produce 280 TWh / year which is more than the 5 largest

African dams cumulated. But those 5 dams store more than 10% of theworld reservoir storage (500 billion m3)

Grand Inga benefits


18/19

Now conditions are favorable to

develop Grand Inga for Africa

High Power Ministerial Declaration, J ohannesburg, March 9 2006had a strong message for hydropower

International lenders are favorable to dam and hydropower

Other energies are expansive and polluting

The Grand Inga kWh cost is very cheap

The interconnected high voltage African network is being constructed

The environmental impact of Gd Inga project is small


19/19

ICOLD is ready to bring its support to

share its experience and expertise inorder to contribute to the realization of

Grand Inga project .
