USTDA Supports Solar Power Development in Burundi

ARLINGTON, Virginia --  The U.S. Trade and Development Agency awarded a grant on Mar 30, 2015, to Gigawatt Global Burundi S.A. to support the development of a 7.5-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic power plant in Mubuga, Burundi. 

 

Currently, only four percent of Burundi's population has residential access to electricity. Implementation of the proposed solar plant would increase Burundi's installed electricity generation capacity by an estimated 15 percent, helping to power over 60,000 households and businesses. The plant would be the first utility-scale solar energy generation facility in Burundi. 

 

The opportunity to conduct the USTDA-funded feasibility study will be competed through Federal Business Opportunities (FBO). A link to the FBO announcement will be posted to USTDA's website at www.ustda.gov. Interested U.S. firms should submit proposals according to the instructions in the FBO announcement.  Learn More
