  • Why does Rwanda have an energy crisis?
  • During the last two decades, Rwanda has experienced an energy crisis mostly due to lack of investment in the energy sector. With the growing of the population and increasing industrialization in urban areas, energy provided by existing hydro and thermal power plants has been increasingly scarce with high energy costs, and energy instability.
  • Is Rwanda more reliant on thermal energy?
  • Conclusion During the last two decades, Rwanda has known an energy crisis which has led the country to be more reliant to import and by 2004 until now, as a matter of urgency, to be mostly dependant to thermal generation at the time oil prices have drastically increased.
  • How does Rwanda provide energy in a more sustainable way?
  • In its plans, with the support of donors, the Government of Rwanda has taken measures in order to supply energy in a more sustainable way. The national electricity utility ELECTROGAZ has started to renew the installed power stations and also to install new hydro power plants.
  • Which sector uses the most petroleum products in Rwanda?
  • The transport sector is the main user of petroleum products with 69% of the market, followed by households 16.5% and manufacturing using 14.5% . Rwanda's land area covered by forest is 20% of the total and wood fuel constitutes 80.4% of the total energy consumption.
  • What is Rwanda doing about rural energy?
  • The Government of Rwanda has undertaken actions for the development of rural energy in places where access to national grid is still difficult. It had commissioned the construction of micro hydro powers at eight sites totaling 6.4 MW.
  • What is the main source of energy in Rwanda?
  • Biomass (wood, agriculture residues, charcoal, peat and organic gas) constitutes the major source of energy accounting for 80.40% of the total energy. Fuel and electricity constitute respectively 6% and 0.90% of the total energy. The sources of energy and energy consumption sector by sector in Rwanda are presented in Fig. 1.
