Least Cost Power Development Plan: December 2023
The Least-cost generation expansion results show the emergence of new technologies onto the grid under different development scenarios. These include utility scale solar PV with
Energy Private Developers (EPD) has currently registered over 40 solar companies who have invested in Solar Home System (SHS) business. SHS kits Capacities available on Rwandan market are those of 12W, 20W, 40W, 50 W, 100W, 120W, 200W and 300W with average price per a kit of 67,678 Rwf.
By May 2021, Rwanda's generation capacity installed is currently 238.052MW. 1,752,345 households have been connected to electricity where 1,278,601 households are on grid and 473,744 households connected to Off-grid mainly solar. Solar energy is a promising solution to meet the demand for rural households' electricity services in remote locations.
Rwanda is generally characterized by Savannah climate and its geographical location endows it with sufficient solar radiation intensity approximately equal to 5kWh/m2/day and peak sun hours of approximately 5 hours per day. Rwanda's total on-grid installed solar energy is 12.08 MW.
As of May 2021, 16 % of Rwandan households are accessing electricity through off-grid systems, mainly solar. The Energy sector strategic plan underscores the universal access to electricity by 2024 with 48% of the households connected through off-grid power systems.
