The Project for Improvement of Substations and Distribution
Network at metropolitan area in Kigali (2014)
《Background of the project》
The Republic of Rwanda has been boosted the economic growth rate these days. However, because of a long civil war tires economy so the overall electrification rate is 5%, even Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, is 25%, and some rural areas are around 3%. The issue they reconstruct the economy is the lower electrification rate to improve a living standard and social service. We contributed to increase the rate and let the electric supply stable by improving Substations and Distribution at the Metropolitan area in Rwanda.
