Which technology is most important for power generation in Burundi?
Hydropower is the most important technology for power generation in Burundi, representing 95% of the total national generation capacity. This energy is transported through elevated lines of average volltage and distributed to the customers by lines of low voltage. The levels of transport voltage in Burundi are 110 kV, 30 kV and 10 kV.
What is the power sector like in Burundi?
A key feature of the power sector in Burundi is the very low level of electrification. Less than 5% of the population have access to the national grid (average in Sub-Sahara Africa 26%), and even they are facing power cuts on a daily basis during dry season.
How does Burundi benefit from electricity imports?
Burundi also benefits from imports from the regional hydro plants of Rusizi I and II, which are operated by Société Nationale d'Electricité (SNEL), and SINELAC, respectively. Currently, these imports account for 40% of the electricity consumption.
What is the institutional framework in Burundi?
The institutional framework in Burundi is complicated by the fact that multiple ministries and agencies have overlapping responsibilities for the energy sector. Four ministries (Energy and Mines; Communal Development; Planning and Finance) play an active role in defining and executing government policy in the energy sector.
