6 FAQs about [Solar énergie Rwanda]

Can Rwanda use solar energy?

Solar With an average irradiation of 4.99 kWh/m 2 /day, Rwanda has a high potential for solar energy deployment. Currently solar energy is used by both on-grid and off-grid utilities aggregating to a total of 5% of the energy injected to the grid.

How many solar power plants are in Rwanda?

Currently, Rwanda’s total on-grid installed solar energy is 12.050 MW originating from 3 solar power plants namely Jali power plant generating 0.25MW, Rwamagana Gigawatt generating 8.5 MW, and the Nasho Solar plant generating 3.3 MW.

How much solar power does Rwanda have in 2022?

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Rwanda had around 25 MW of installed solar capacity at the end of 2022. No new PV capacity has been deployed in the sub-Saharan country over the past three years. Total power generation capacity currently stands at just 259 MW and only 35% of the population has access to electricity.

What is the current energy generation in Rwanda?

The current energy generation capacity in Rwanda (as of 2017) is at 210.9 MW. Grid-connected generation capacity has tripled since 2010. The power generation mix is currently diversified with hydro power accounting for 48%, thermal for 32%, solar PV for 5.7%, and methane-to-power for 14.3%. Rwanda has achieved an access rate of 40.5%.

What is the most used energy source in Rwanda?

As the above graph indicates, oil is the most used fuel in Rwanda for power generation (accounting for over 50% in 2020). Hydropower accounts for more than 40% of the total electricity generated in Rwanda and thus is the most used renewable energy source currently and is projected to remain so in the future.

What is Rwanda's energy strategy?

Rwanda's energy strategy is to diversify sources of energy by focusing on the development of domestic sources and phasing out thermal generation (keeping only the minimum for back up purpose).
