DR Congo (Kamanyola) - Burundi (Bujumbura) Power Interconnection Project

This is a 78.8

Upon completion the project will integrate the electricity grids of the great lakes countries, EGL (Burundi, DRC and Rwanda) as well as the regional electricity grid for the five NEL countries. Some of the expected results of this project are; Increased access to electricity from a regional average of 9% in 2010 to 13% in 2015 and to 19% in 2020 and reduced electricity costs from a regional average of 20 cents USD/KWh in 2008 to 8 cents USD/KWh in 2020 by improving overall production and operational efficiencies of the integrated system. The project is also expected to promote regional cooperation and integration promoting power development planning from a regional perspective.
