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.

Is Rwanda a significant source of solar energy?

Rwanda has a moderate source of solar energy, with an average solar radiation of 4 – 6 kWh per square meter per day. It has had a useful experience with the 250 kW Kigali solar project and solar water heaters. However, Rwanda's energy mix is currently dominated by biomass, which accounts for about 85% of primary energy use.

Is there a market for solar energy in Rwanda?

Only few companies in Rwanda are active in the field of solar energy. They focus mainly on the market for larger systems for public institutions, e.g. hospitals, schools etc through public tenders. In addition they and others are also trying to sell solar home systems but the market for solar lanterns and small home systems is still in its infancy.

How many solar home systems are there in Rwanda?

The market for Standalone solar systems is growing in Rwanda, and currently a total of approximately 50,000 solar home systems are known to have been installed in Rwanda for the last 3 years.
