Sawa Energy has secured a significant EUR 2.5 million equity investment from ElectriFI to expand its solar energy and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Rwanda and Uganda. This strategic funding is designed to accelerate the replacement of diesel generators with clean, reliable solar.
Rwanda's electricity demand is projected to triple by 2030 [1], while the country aims to achieve 60% renewable energy penetration within the same timeframe. But here's the rub: Solar and wind power generation in the region fluctuates by up to 70% daily [2], creating what engineers call the "duck.
Rwanda aims to achieve 100% electricity access by 2024, with 60% coming from renewable sources (Ministry of Infrastructure, 2023). Storage systems are essential to hit these targets. Lithium-ion battery systems like those deployed by EK SOLAR in the Kigali Innovation City project demonstrate: After.
