Creeping until 1945, the electrification of French Equatorial Africa, which started in 1910, experienced a relative development after the Second World War. It was realization of the metropolitan authorities’ policy to modernize of the Overseas territories. At the basis of the electrification by the Federation, there was a synergy of institutional and entrepreneurial actors for activating the process. But the new policy did not put the various territories of the Federation on a equal footing. The Middle Congo, with Brazzaville as its, federal capital, was privileged. As a result, the hydroelectric power station was constructed in Djoué. The excessive priority granted to this development project generated frictions within the Federation. This led to a race for modernization, which encouraged clashes and lead to the building of another dam, that of Boali near Bangui, in order to alleviate the growing frustration of the Oubanguian Officials.
