The potential for wind energy in Burundi seems to be quite high, especially in the Imbo plains. Meteorological data from 1988 suggests an average wind flow of almost 5 m/s at 2 meters above ground . ►Go to Top
It is only in the last five years that private consumption has grown in real terms. Burundi`s energy consumption relies to a great extent on biomass. Households are the main consumers of energy in the country, accounting for 94% of total consumption. Their needs are almost exclusively met by traditional biomass (99%).
This energy is transported through elevated lines of average volltage and distributed to the customers by lines of low voltage. The levels of transport voltage in Burundi are 110 kV, 30 kV and 10 kV. Electrical energy production was 133 GWh in 1992 and 150 GWh in 1993.
Solar energy is the most common off-grid electricity source in Burundi, although the number of systems installed is very slow. With the global price droping of solar technologies a small solar sector emerged in the recent years, that offer smaller systems for private households, businesses and public institutions.
Hydropower is the most important technology for power generation in Burundi, representing 95% of the total national generation capacity. This energy is transported through elevated lines of average volltage and distributed to the customers by lines of low voltage. The levels of transport voltage in Burundi are 110 kV, 30 kV and 10 kV.
Go to Top Up to 5% of Burundi’s electric power is generated from bagasse a by-product of the sugar industry based on co-generation technology. The bagasse is used as feedstock to produce both process heat and electricity.
