Rwanda’s Energy Profile and Potential Renewable Energy Resources Mapping toward Sustainable Development Goals

This paper first discusses the current energy profile in Rwanda where it focuses on electrical energy status in order to evaluate the available power generation, transmission system, and load growth. The paper also continues to track the possible available and untapped renewable energy resources and outlines the credible Path-ways for Rwanda's energy future in the next 30 years and beyond, by considering how much energy we might need and where it could come from and hence, how possibly the different electrical energy generation technologies could be shared in an effective way to meet the demand. To identify how the country needs to integrate the most renewable energy generation in its energy system, the results show that in 2050 fuel is free to be totally decommissioned which results in a remarkable drop in CO₂ emission.
