The Inboulou hydro site is located on the Lefini river, about 150 km northeast of Brazzaville. The proposed power plant would comprise 4 units, for a total installed power of 100 MW. The firm power in a dry year would be 75 MW, and the average energy output would amount 645 GWh per year. The estimated investment cost is 200 million USD, i.e. 2,000 USD/kW. In addition, the cost of a 220 kV transmission line from Imboulou to Brazzaville has to be added up to that amount. Some other hydroelectric projects have been identified but do not seem to be given a high degree of priority by the Congolese authorities: these projects, such as Foulakary or Louesse, have not been explicitely taken into consideration for the calculations described below.
