Republic of Burundi is a company based in Burundi that specializes in developing renewable projects in various sectors, including climate policy and small hydro. The company is committed to promoting sustainable development in the country by harnessing the power of renewable energy sources to meet the growing energy demand while reducing the carbon footprint.
Burundi is a landlocked country in East Africa that is facing significant challenges in meeting its energy needs. The country has a population of over 11 million people, and only about 6% of the population has access to electricity. The majority of the population relies on traditional biomass for cooking and heating, which has significant health and environmental impacts. The country's energy sector is dominated by fossil fuels, which are expensive and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Republic of Burundi is working to change this by promoting renewable energy sources, such as small hydro, solar, and wind power. The company's focus on small hydro is particularly important in Burundi, where the country has significant potential for hydropower development. The company's small hydro projects aim to harness the power of water to generate electricity, which is then distributed to the local communities.
One of the company's flagship projects is the Ruzizi III hydropower project, which is a joint venture between Burundi, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The project aims to develop a 147 MW hydropower plant on the Ruzizi River, which will provide electricity to over 30 million people in the region. The project is expected to reduce the region's dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Republic of Burundi is also involved in other small hydro projects in the country, such as the Mulembwe and Rwegura projects. These projects aim to develop small-scale hydropower plants that can provide electricity to the local communities. The company works closely with the local communities to ensure that the projects are developed in a sustainable and socially responsible manner.
In addition to small hydro, Republic of Burundi is also involved in promoting solar power in the country. The company has developed several solar projects, including the Gitega solar project, which is a 7 MW solar power plant that provides electricity to over 100,000 people in the region. The company is also involved in promoting the use of solar energy in rural areas, where the majority of the population lacks access to electricity.

The company's focus on small hydro is particularly important in Burundi, where the country has significant potential for hydropower development.
In addition to its renewable energy projects, Republic of Burundi is also involved in promoting climate policy in the country. The company works closely with the government and other stakeholders to promote policies that support the development of renewable energy sources and reduce the country's carbon footprint. The company is also involved in promoting awareness about the importance of climate change and the need to take action to mitigate its impacts.
