4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Burundi Wind Solar and Storage"

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).

How much solar energy does Burundi produce?

Figure 2. Data from Global Solar Atlas (globalsolaratlas.info) showing specific production for PV from 1,387 kWh/kWp to 1,606 kWh/kWp (adequate in all locations) Wind: The mean wind speed in Burundi is 4–6 m/s (“Energy Profile Burundi” n.d.).

Which region of Burundi has a high potential for wind energy harvesting?

Another study found that the Bujumbura region has a high potential for wind energy harvesting (Placide, Lollchund, and Dalso 2021). Geothermal: According to the Burundi Ministry for Energy and Mines, the Rift Valley region of the country is likely to have geothermal potential (Manirakiza 2012).

What can a Burundi Energy Center do?

For example, such a center in Burundi could focus on funding and implementing solar-plus-storage technologies for rural and remote households. The 2015 Electricity Act enables foreign investments into the power sector. In addition, laws in Burundi allow tax benefits for energy investment and public-private partnership.
