Rural Electrification Strategy
Ministry of Infrastructure, Rwanda
The rural electrification strategy is geared towards ensuring Rwanda’s rural households have unhindered access to electricity, at an effective cost. It aims to leverage four basic programmes; provision of basic solar systems as necessities, support of the private sector through the risk-based mitigating system, development of mini-grids in suitable locations, and the roll-out of the Electricity Access Rollout Programme (EARP). It broadly has an objective of attaining 70% access to electricity by 2017/2018, and 100% by 2020.
