Electricity access
As of end April 2024, the cumulative connectivity rate in Rwanda is 77.1% of Rwandan households including 54.5% connected to the national grid and 22.7% accessing through off-grid systems (mainly solar).
During the elaboration of the EDPRS II, the Government of Rwanda took a clear policy decision to diversify the sources of electricity from traditional dominant grid to include even off-grid connections. Subsequently, Households far away from the planned national grid coverage have been encouraged to use alternatively cheaper connections such as Mini-grids and Solar Photovoltaics (PVs) to reduce the cost of access to electricity whilst relieving constraints on historical government subsidies.
