Modelling the decarbonization pathways of Rwanda's power system and ensuring energy security

This report was developed during the Energy Modelling Platform for Africa 2025 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The input data was received from different sources for the past 3 years (2021-2023). The data included primary sources of energy and its reserves, power installed capacity, generated electricity and demand.

Through the MUIO – Osemosys, three scenarios were studied and these were:

·       BAU – considering the committed plants and plans of the Rwanda;

·       Import reduction-reduction of power imports that affect the grid stability and

·       Renewable energy target- constraining the Renewable energy share at 70% from 2030- 2050 in line with the SDG and NDC targets.
