A government-endorsed national renewable IPP platform, built by the team behind Burundi's first operating solar IPP — operating across the value chain through four integrated pillars.
| Platform scale | 150 MW national IPP platform — favourable opinion (avis favorable) issued by Burundi's Directorate General for Energy (Programme Energie), May 2026. |
|---|---|
| Flagship project | Higiro 10 MW solar-plus-storage — approved, with a negotiated PPA / PPP; lead project under Burundi's Mission 300 compact. |
| Operating record | 5+ years operating IPP under a RÉGIDESO PPA; developers of Burundi's first utility-scale solar plant. |
| Productive use | Ten Ministry-awarded PURE productive-use sites; agri-value hubs linked to a waste-to-energy ecosystem, with an FAO partnership. |
| Domestic anchors | EAGTC (operational — construction & agri-processing) · CRDB Bank Burundi (financial — signed LOI 2026; GCF Direct Access Entity). |
| Alignment | PND Burundi 2018–2027 · SAUE · Vision Burundi 2040–2060 · Mission 300. |
Solar-plus-storage and hydropower under concession, along with waste-to-energy (local-currency mitigation) for national-grid significance — supporting RÉGIDESO's capacity expansion.
Ten Ministry-awarded productive-use sites, industrial-scale waste-to-energy, and a distributed-hydropower aggregator.
Productive-use clusters for rural agri-business — processing, cold chain, irrigation and milling — deployed modularly with direct population impact.
Operating-IPP O&M capability and a multilateral execution record, extending to third-party and rehabilitation mandates as the platform scales.
The platform is structuring blended capital and welcomes engagement from development finance institutions and aligned investors — across equity, long-tenor debt, concessional and technical-assistance capital, and guarantee or first-loss instruments.
Engagement from DFIs and aligned investors is welcome.
