<p>The project involved the construction of a 147 MW Ruzizi III hydro-electric dam and distribution station between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, on the Ruzizi river.</p>
Description
<p>A 147 MW hydropower plant will be constructred on the Ruzizi River. It will provide electricity supply to Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC. It entails the construction of a run-of-river dam between DRC and Rwanda, downstream from the Ruzizi II hydropower dam, a 147 MW power plant and a distribution station. Power will be transmitted to the three countries from the Kamanyola substation by 220 kV transmission lines.</p>
<p>The Ruzizi III project will significantly transform the electricity sectors in the countries concerned. Its implementation will contribute to:Â </p>
<p>(i) optimal exploitation of the Ruzizi River's energy potential to improve security of supplies and access to electricity; and</p>
<p>(ii) the strengthening of regional economic integration by creating a market for electricity.</p>
