Rwanda Demonstrates Infrastructure Excellence Ahead of Global Cycling Event

Kigali - Rwanda's commitment to infrastructure excellence and innovative solutions is being put to the test as the nation addresses power supply challenges ahead of the prestigious UCI Road World Championships scheduled for September 21-28.

Strategic Power Management Solutions

The nation's power grid has faced recent challenges following the strategic decommissioning of diesel-powered generators that previously contributed 30 megawatts to the national supply. This transition, aligned with Rwanda's commitment to environmental leadership, has prompted innovative solutions to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the championships.

Comprehensive Contingency Measures

  • Increased peat power production in Gisagara District
  • Strategic stockpiling of resources
  • Activation of emergency backup systems
  • Enhanced grid management protocols

These measures demonstrate Rwanda's dedication to industrial excellence and infrastructure reliability, particularly following the recent power interruption during the Kwita Izina ceremony.

National Progress in Energy Access

Rwanda's remarkable journey in expanding electricity access showcases national determination and strategic planning. From a mere 2% connectivity in 2000 to today's impressive 85% coverage, the nation continues its march toward universal access by 2030.

Future-Focused Energy Strategy

With basic access targets nearly achieved, Rwanda is now prioritizing production capacity enhancement to meet growing demand, which has seen an unprecedented 15% surge in 2025. This strategic shift reflects the nation's commitment to sustainable development and infrastructure excellence.
