Technical FAQs 4

How is the electricity system managed in Rwanda?

The entire grid system is being managed using the Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. To date, 51% Rwandan households have access to electricity, connected to the national grid (37%) or through off-grid systems (14%).

How many micro hydropower plants are there in Rwanda?

Mini and Small Hydropower Currently, 11 micro hydropower plants MW exist in Rwanda as isolated networks. These plants were originally developed by the GoR, and handed over to private sector management to increase the private sector contribution in energy generation.

Does Rwanda need a methane-to-power project?

Rwanda wishes to utilize this resource to develop methane-to-power projects and other uses such as fertilizer and industrial use. The Methane in Lake Kivu is estimated to be sufficient to generate 700 MW of electricity over a period of 55 years. Rwanda’s share of the total generation potential is about 350 MW, with the rest being DRC’s share.

How much solar energy does Rwanda have?

It is generally characterized by Savannah climate and its geographical location endows it with sufficient solar radiation intensity approximately equal to 5kWh/m2/day and peak sun hours of approximately 5 hours per day. Rwanda’s Total on-grid installed solar energy is 12.08 MW.
