From the country's first utility-scale solar field to a new wave of storage, hydro and Energy Hubs — we're deepening reliable clean power where it drives the most growth.
Gigawatt Global developed and operates the Mubuga solar park near Gitega — Burundi's first private-sector, grid-connected solar field. Online since 2021, it supplies roughly 10% of the country's electricity. That operating base is what makes our next phase fast, low-risk and bankable.
An approved doubling of the Mubuga field with battery storage and new community connections — adding firm, dispatchable clean capacity to the grid.
Sites allocated by the Ministry of Energy, focused on productive use — electricity for local businesses, services and agriculture, not just lighting.
A run-of-river hydro project co-developed with SOTEM, diversifying the generation mix and leveraging streamlined deployment from our solar operations.
We're engaging investors, lenders and DFIs to finance the extension, storage and Energy Hub rollout. Our PPP framework, operating asset and government relationships provide a de-risked entry point into Burundi's energy transition.
Investment and collaboration inquiries are welcome.
