Rwanda
The main energy sources for electricity generation in Rwanda are fossil thermal and hydropower. AFREC''s energy balance 2020 show that biomass in Rwanda contributed to 92% of its total final consumption. Most of this biomass was consumed in the household sector at 85% followed by commerce and public service sector at 15%.

What is the energy sector in Rwanda?
The energy sector in Rwanda is made up of three sub-sectors: power, hydrocarbon and new and renewable sources of energy. Amongst the renewable sources of energy are biomass, solar, peat, wind, geothermal and hydropower. Biomass is the most used and dominates both the demand and supply sides of the Rwandan economy.
What is the main source of energy in Rwanda?
Biomass (wood, agriculture residues, charcoal, peat and organic gas) constitutes the major source of energy accounting for 80.40% of the total energy. Fuel and electricity constitute respectively 6% and 0.90% of the total energy. The sources of energy and energy consumption sector by sector in Rwanda are presented in Fig. 1.
Is biomass a source of electricity in Rwanda?
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Rwanda: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
How does Rwanda provide energy in a more sustainable way?
In its plans, with the support of donors, the Government of Rwanda has taken measures in order to supply energy in a more sustainable way. The national electricity utility ELECTROGAZ has started to renew the installed power stations and also to install new hydro power plants.
Is there a biogas support programme in Rwanda?
Report on the Feasibility Study for a Biogas Support Programme in the Republic of Rwanda. SNV and Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA), Kigali. EAESI (2005). Rwanda National Paper. Presented at the Forum of Energy Ministers for Africa (FEMA), East African Energy Scale Up Initiative (EAESI). Nairobi 24-2 June 2005.
Why does Rwanda have an energy crisis?
During the last two decades, Rwanda has experienced an energy crisis mostly due to lack of investment in the energy sector. With the growing of the population and increasing industrialization in urban areas, energy provided by existing hydro and thermal power plants has been increasingly scarce with high energy costs, and energy instability.
