Kinshasa Thermal Power Station, also Kinshasa Plastics Waste–To–Energy Plant, is a planned -fired in the city of , the capital of the , with an estimated population of 15 million inhabitants, as of August 2021. The waste-to-energy power station will, in the first phase, convert 200 tonnes of plastic waste everyday into "3,50. Two power plants on the Congo River, with installed capacity of more than 1.7 gigawatts, are the country’s main energy suppliers – they alone generate 90% of the electricity consumed in the capital Kinshasa.
