Burundi solar power generation and energy storage classification

4 FAQs about Burundi solar power generation and energy storage classification

How much solar power is available in Burundi?

Hydropower: 1,700 MW of potential. 300 MW are economically possible (“Burundi” 2022). Solar: Average daily solar insolation is 4–5 kWh/m2/day, indicating strong solar potential for Burundi (“Energy Profile Burundi” n.d.). There is a growing number of households, businesses, schools, and health clinics using distributed, off-grid solar.

What is the primary energy supply in Burundi?

The remainder of the primary energy supply is from oil (“Burundi Energy Profile” 2021). However, a majority (98%) of the renewable energy supply in Burundi is bioenergy. The remainder of the renewable energy supply is hydroelectric, and solar power (“Burundi Energy Profile” 2021).

What are the energy planning strategies for Burundi?

Energy Planning Strategies for Burundi The Burundian energy supply highly depends on traditional use of biomass. The literature shows that the power supply of this country mainly relies on hydropower generation. Many hydropower projects are under development to increase the electricity access of this country .

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).
