6 FAQs about [Burundi future energy]
Why is planning important in Burundi?
Therefore, there is a need for a robust planning in this region in order to sustain its future energy sector. A particular emphasis is made on Burundi due to its poor energy access with a highest dependence on traditional use of biomass energy in the region.
Does Burundi need a robust energy planning strategy?
Based on previous published research on various energy planning strategies in EAC, all the countries, apart from Burundi, have made some efforts in planning for their energy sector. Therefore, there is a need for a robust planning in this region in order to sustain its future energy sector.
What factors influence future energy demand in Burundi?
However, many driving factors influences the future energy demand of the region, namely; high population growth rate; increasing housing demand, health and education; untapped minerals potential. Notably, Burundi has the second largest coltan reserve in the region and 6% of world nickel reserves [9, 10].
What type of energy is used in Burundi?
Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings. Burundi: How much of the country’s energy comes from nuclear power?
What will become the Burundian power sector in long-run?
Although the country is endowed with a huge potential for various energy resources , there is higher uncertainty about what will become the Burundian power sector in long-run. This uncertainty is higher as the target of reaching 30% of electrification rate in 2030 is still far from the current situation (Fig. 2).
How will new power plants affect Burundi?
New hydroelectric power stations at Jiji and Mulembwe with a total capacity of 48 MW are under construction. These new power plants will double Burundi's production capacity, which is currently 39 MW. They will also increase the national electrification rate from 5% to 8% and help to bridge the energy deficit.
