Burundi’s 2006 energy sector policy requires up-dating and amending, taking into account the country’s domestic situation and integrating the regional energy strategy developed with the East African Community (EAC).
The government of Burundi is expected to adopt the energy policy – including the associated imple-mentation strategy and investment plan – in 2011.
Energy Planning Strategies for Burundi The Burundian energy supply highly depends on traditional use of biomass. The literature shows that the power supply of this country mainly relies on hydropower generation. Many hydropower projects are under development to increase the electricity access of this country .
The objective of EUEI PDF‘s project “Energy Strategy and Action Plan for Burundi” was to support the Ministry of Energy and Mines in developing a new national energy policy.
Burundi’s energy envi-ronment also harms its natural resources: high population growth and reliance on traditional biomass for cooking have contributed to severe deforestation, exacerbating the damage caused during the 1993 to 2004 political crises.
Although the country is endowed with a huge potential for various energy resources , there is higher uncertainty about what will become the Burundian power sector in long-run. This uncertainty is higher as the target of reaching 30% of electrification rate in 2030 is still far from the current situation (Fig. 2).
