As the largest and most advanced hydroelectric power station in Burundi in terms of monthly power generation, it has increased the nation's power generation capacity by nearly one-third since all units went into operation, meeting the electricity demands of the capital city of Bujumbura.
World Bank Representative in Burundi Hawa Cisse Wagué added that: “The Jiji hydroelectric power plant and the lines and substations built as part of the project are not infrastructure like any other. This infrastructure helps ensure Burundi's economic and social development.
The two hydropower plants are about 3.75 km apart and are currently the most promising energy projects in this part of the country. The project will have a positive impact on the sustainability of the energy sector in particular, and Burundi's economy in general.
Located in Bururi province, this large-scale infrastructure marks a key step forward in the country's pursuit of energy self-sufficiency. It is also a strong signal for an investment-friendly climate to ensure more inclusive and sustainable economic development for Burundi.
Annual energy generation is projected at 235GWh – enough to supply 15,000 households, 7,000 businesses and 1,700 industrial facilities with clean, reliable electricity. Have you read?
