What are the energy planning strategies for Burundi?

Energy Planning Strategies for Burundi The Burundian energy supply highly depends on traditional use of biomass. The literature shows that the power supply of this country mainly relies on hydropower generation. Many hydropower projects are under development to increase the electricity access of this country .

Why is Burundi launching a power generation master plan?

The project aims to support the development of a power generation master plan expected to highlight the various renewable energy options for Burundi in the ‘power generation segment’, paving the way for strong private sector participation which is critical for meeting the massive challenges of the power sector in the country.

Why is Burundi lagging in energy supply?

Despite some efforts in the region to increase energy supply at national and regional levels , Burundi is lagging from meeting its total power demand: 10% of its population had access to electricity in 2012 , this access rate has only turned to 11% in 2019 according to World Bank data.

What will become the Burundian power sector in long-run?
