Solar in Burundi – just add water The African Development Bank is seeking consultants to explore how two hydropower projects and an associated grid planned in Burundi can incorporate solar power.
Hydropower: 1,700 MW of potential. 300 MW are economically possible (“Burundi” 2022). Solar: Average daily solar insolation is 4–5 kWh/m2/day, indicating strong solar potential for Burundi (“Energy Profile Burundi” n.d.). There is a growing number of households, businesses, schools, and health clinics using distributed, off-grid solar.
Energy Planning Strategies for Burundi The Burundian energy supply highly depends on traditional use of biomass. The literature shows that the power supply of this country mainly relies on hydropower generation. Many hydropower projects are under development to increase the electricity access of this country .
The remainder of the primary energy supply is from oil (“Burundi Energy Profile” 2021). However, a majority (98%) of the renewable energy supply in Burundi is bioenergy. The remainder of the renewable energy supply is hydroelectric, and solar power (“Burundi Energy Profile” 2021).
Limited capability and resources to improve energy efficiency are also the main factors contributing to the increase of Burundian energy demand. Incorporating these factors into energy demand forecasts is crucial for a capital constrained developing country, like Burundi, where reliable energy supply capability is limited. 4.2.
Despite some efforts in the region to increase energy supply at national and regional levels , Burundi is lagging from meeting its total power demand: 10% of its population had access to electricity in 2012 , this access rate has only turned to 11% in 2019 according to World Bank data.
Average power prices in Burundi are among the most expensive in the world, some sources citing the average tariff at USD 0.31/kWh (“REGIDESO to Nearly Triple Electricity Tariffs” 2017).
