Abstract

Burundi, a country where only 10% of the population has access to electricity, is set to expand its power grid starting in 2025 with a $1.4 billion boost from international agencies. The government has partnered with Weza Power to extend the grid nationally, aiming to provide power to 300,000 people in rural regions next year and 9 million people by 2030. The expansion will focus on increasing medium- and low-voltage lines, with support from various organizations including the US government's Power Africa and the World Bank.
