Case Study: Solar minigrids in Rwanda

The diesel system has an estimated LCUE 30% higher than an optimised solar and battery only system of the same reliability, with total greenhouse gas emissions being 68% greater. However, the emissions from both of these alternatives are significantly less than the basic undersized system due to the reduction in kerosene

6 FAQs about [Rwanda battery system]

Does Rwanda need solar power?

The government of Rwanda provides its contribution support to the service company through its national environment and climate change fund called FONERWA. However, many other provinces need highly reliable, green energy, and affordable solar power, especially in rural areas.

Why is the government of Rwanda promoting off-grid energy solutions?

Due to the limited affordability of electricity solutions for rural households and local businesses, The Government of Rwanda (GoR) has raised its awareness of the off-grid sector by increasing the energy production from mini and microgrid PV energy solutions (Koo et al., 2018).

Does Rwanda have energy access?

Rwanda has made substantial progress and targets the goal of energy access, moving from 30 percent on-grid access in 2021 to 52 percent on-grid and 48 percent off-grid access in 2024 (PowerAfrica, 2018).

How many people are without electricity in Rwanda?

Recently, the company has served 17% of the rural population in the Eastern District of Rwanda and the government's grid extension plans will still leave 1.2 million households without electricity.

Does Rwanda need an off-grid PV microgrid?

In Rwanda, the most affected population without power lines belongs to rural villages where only 12% are accessing grid connections (PowerAfrica, 2018). Therefore, an off-grid PV microgrid was proposed to meet the basic energy demand in rural areas.

How does Ubudehe work in Rwanda?

In this process, the Government of Rwanda (GoR) has set a program to subsidize the cost of the system in a rural household power access projects suit to their socio-economic metric known as ‘Ubudehe’ which would determine the required financial support from other poverty reduction programs in a country.
