Only 2 million out of Burundi’s 14 million people have access to electricity, and service is concentrated in densely populated, urban areas. NRECA International is working in partnership with Weza Power, a private electricity distribution company in Burundi, to plan and implement an ambitious electrification expansion plan across the whole country.
The team is developing geospatial electrification expansion plans, investment plans, and distribution standards and operational guidelines to inform Weza Power how to expand electricity service to almost 70% of rural Burundi within the next decade.
