The four pillars

One platform, end to end.

IPP

Utility-scale on-grid generation

Solar-plus-storage and hydropower under concession, along with waste-to-energy (local-currency mitigation) for national-grid significance — supporting RÉGIDESO's capacity expansion.

DRE

Decentralised renewable energy

Ten Ministry-awarded productive-use sites, industrial-scale waste-to-energy, and a distributed-hydropower aggregator.

Rural electrification

Productive-use clusters

Productive-use clusters for rural agri-business — processing, cold chain, irrigation and milling — deployed modularly with direct population impact.

Asset management

O&M & multilateral execution

Operating-IPP O&M capability and a multilateral execution record, extending to third-party and rehabilitation mandates as the platform scales.

For partners

A credible entry point for DFI capital.

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.

Why it stands out: an operating IPP, a government-endorsed pipeline, and an approved flagship PPA — anchored by in-country operational and financial partners — combine to de-risk entry into Burundi's clean-energy build-out.

Help build Burundi's clean-energy platform.

Engagement from DFIs and aligned investors is welcome.
