The grid-connected 7.5MW solar power plant, located in Mubuga, became operational in 2021. It has since then provided more than 10% of Burundi''s electricity. During the official inauguration, President
Burundi has officially inaugurated the country''s first utility-scale solar field, as part of push to leverage renewable energy for improved access to electricity for homes and businesses.
This is Burundi''s Mubuga Solar Power Station in Gitega, a 7.5 MW solar plant that was completed in 2021 and provides electricity to about 87500 people.
Burundi has partnered with PUM Netherlands Senior Experts to develop a skilled workforce and strengthen its growing solar energy sector. This collaboration marks a significant
Burundi''s first solar PV power plant has reached commercial operation. Located in Mubuga in the Gitega Province, the project – which is the country''s first grid-connected solar project by an independent
This power station is the first grid-connected solar project developed by an IPP in Burundi. It is also the first major electricity generation investment in the country, in the past 30 years. The renewable energy infrastructure was on the books since 2016. Attempts were made to start construction in 2018, but the process aborted. In January 2020, construction started in earnest. Despite delays attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, the power installation was commercially commissioned i
