AI Customer ServicePoor-quality power service is undermining opportunities for economic growth in Burundi and the lack of investments has compromised access to expansion efforts.
WASHINGTON, January 10, 2024 — Although Burundi’s economic growth is steadily improving, efforts risks stalling due to lack of access to electricity which affects households,industries, and commercial premises.
In a context where the Government of Burundi (GoB) has developed an ambitious program to reach universal access by 2030, the Bank is actively supporting that program along with other donors and this additional financing will provide more capacity to supply additional customers that will be connected through that program.
The ASCENT Burundi Project will support the Government of Burundi’s (GoB) Universal Access Program, launched in 2023 and will reinforce the medium voltage network across the country while rehabilitating, modernizing, and expanding Bujumbura’s distribution network.
To accelerate efforts in expanding electricity access, the GoB will be partnering with the private sector to support grid electrification in peri-urban and rural areas. The project will support a distribution pilot led by Weza Power – a newly created private utility that signed an Interim Public Partnership Agreement with the government.
We are deeply committed to excellence in all our endeavors.
Since we maintain control over our products, our customers can be assured of nothing but the best quality at all times.
