Solar key to easing Burundi''s severe energy crisis
"Burundi is positioned to lead the region in solar energy development thanks to 2,000 hours of yearly sunshine, the intensity of the solar radiation, and untapped solar potential," said Chacha
Burundi''s national grid adds 7.5MW solar power.
With a capacity of 7.5 MWp, the Mubuga solar power plant provides up to 10% of Burundi''s electricity, according to Gigawatt Global. The Dutch IPP also estimates that the plant is capable of supplying 87,600 Burundians. It also represents the largest international private investment in Burundi''s electricity sector in nearly 30 years.
