Supports Rwanda''s conditional updated NDC (2020) targets to reduce GHG emissions by 38% and install 68MW of solar PV mini-grids in rural areas by 2030. Project is in line with Rwanda''s long-term development plan,
This $24m project is the first utility-scale, grid-connected, commercial solar field in east Africa that has increased Rwanda''s generation capacity by 6%. Facebook Twitter Pinterest "Rwanda has an excellent business environment – no corruption – and that played a role.
Supports Rwanda''s conditional updated NDC (2020) targets to reduce GHG emissions by 38% and install 68MW of solar PV mini-grids in rural areas by 2030. Project is in line with Rwanda''s long-term development plan, Rwanda 2050, as well as the National Strategy for Transformation (2017-2024), which aims to ensure 100% electricity access by 2035.
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.
Rwanda has a huge potential for solar energy, with a potential of 4.5 kWh per m2 per day and approximately 5 peak sun hours. Currently, Rwanda’s total on-grid installed solar energy is 12.230 MW. Solar energy is a significant energy resource in Rwanda.
Approximately 50,000 solar home systems have been installed in Rwanda over the last 3 years.
