What was the African Development Bank's 2011 cost concept for the proposed Grand Inga complex?

Grand Inga is a proposed hydroelectric complex at Inga Falls on the Congo River. In 2011, the African Development Bank described a US$80 billion concept for about 39,000 MW of capacity while noting that the project remained far from financial close. The amount is a historical proposal estimate, not an approved construction budget or expenditure.
