- Energy_in_Rwanda abstract "Energy use in Rwanda is undergoing rapid change at the beginning of the 21st century. The extent of grid electricity is limited and mainly concentrated near Kigali. Most of the country uses firewood as its main energy source. With its limited electrical infrastructure, Rwanda has a very high degree of renewable energy usage. Most of the country's electricity comes from hydropower. Solar power produces over 7% of electricity in the country. The country is in the midst of a rapid expansion of its electrical grid and many new plants are proposed or under construction. Rwanda is planning to expand from 45 MW of grid power in 2006 to 563 MW in 2018 and may import as much as an additional 450 MW from neighboring countries. In addition, it is installing small solar units throughout the country to ensure electricity to buildings not connected to the national grid, or to help deal with power outages. Currently, the government plans to bring electricity access to 70% of the population by 2018, as opposed to 22% in December 2014.Biomass is the most important energy source utilized through firewood and agricultural waste for cooking. In 2014, this represented 85% of Rwanda's energy use. Peat from peat marshes in southwestern Rwanda will power two electrical plants. The first 15MW plant is expected online in 2015 with the second, a 80MW plant, expected in 2017.Petroleum, mainly for transportation, represented 11% of Rwanda's power in 2014. Although Rwanda is thought to have crude oil and natural gas reserves near Lake Kivu, as of 2014, there was no production of these resources and demand was met by imports. A project to remove natural gas dissolved in Lake Kivu to power a 50MW power plant is expected to be online in 2016. The Kenya–Uganda–Rwanda Petroleum Products Pipeline would transport oil between these countries if it is built.Electrical production accounted for 4% of energy use in the country in 2014, with 53% of electricity generated by hydropower. At the beginning of 2015, Rwanda's grid-connected power plants supplied 154MW.The use of off-grid solar power has increased as solar panel prices have fallen and many areas do not expect grid connections in the near future. The first utility-scale solar farm in Sub-Saharan Africa outside of South Africa is the 8.5MW plant at Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village, in the Rwamagana District, Eastern Province of Rwanda. It leased 20 hectares (49 acres) of land from the village which is a charity to house and educate Rwandan genocide victims. The plant uses 28,360 photovoltaic panels and produces 6% of total electrical supply of the country. The project was built with U.S., Israeli, Dutch, Norwegian, Finnish and UK funding and expertise.".
