Rwanda to build an HPP cascade for alleviation of energy shortages
In May 2022, the Rwanda government launched construction of 43.5 MW Hydropower Plant (HPP) Nyabarongo-2 to be located on the border between the country’s southern and northern provinces. The $214 million project will be part of the cascade that will also include the Butamwa (40 MW) and the Juru (40 MW) pump storage power plants and the 10.5 MW HPP at Sake Lake.
