The Western Power Corridor (Westcor) was a project to construct and supply energy from two hydroelectric power plants to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Originally, the hydro power was to be supplied form the Democratic Republic of the Congo's INGA III project. Later Inga III was supposed to be replaced by Angola's Cuanza River and Cunene River projects or by the new project in the Democratic Republic of Congo.〔 〕〔 〕 ==History== An inter-governmental memorandum on the Westcor was signed on 22 October 2004 in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by the shareholders' agreement signed by the national electricity companies.〔 〕 The pre-feasibility study was completed in 2005. In 2009, Democratic Republic of the Congo decided to develop the INGA III project by using private investments and the project was redesigned to involve Cuanza River and Cunene River projects in Angola.〔 In 2010 the Democratic Republic of Congo indicated it will propose a new project involving also Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.〔 Ultimately the project was aborted by shareholders when unforeseen changes were proposed to the founding agreements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Western Power Corridor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
