From 2014 to 2023, Rwanda’s hydropower generation capacity saw significant growth as part of the country’s efforts to expand its renewable energy sources. In 2014, Rwanda’s hydropower capacity was around 10% of its total energy generation capacity. Over the years, the government and independence power producer invested in several hydropower projects, both large and small-scale, aimed at reducing energy deficits and increasing electricity access. Rwanda maintained a relatively stable capacity, with 104.63 MW in 2021, 113.7 MW in 2022, and 104.07 MW in 2023. These fluctuations reflect both the progress made in hydropower development and the challenges posed by varying water availability and the growth of other energy sources.
