The Rwanda Energy Survey highlights significant progress in expanding electricity access, with 63.9% of households now connected, though rural areas and refugee camps still face substantial gaps in both electricity and clean cooking services. Targeted policies are needed to address these disparities and advance toward universal energy access by 2030.
The Rwanda Energy Survey, conducted by the World Bank provides an in-depth analysis of the country’s progress toward achieving universal energy access, particularly focusing on household electricity and clean cooking services. This survey, a follow-up to the inaugural 2016 survey, employs the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF), which moves beyond the binary concept of having or not having energy access. Instead, it evaluates energy access across six tiers (Tier 0 to Tier 5) based on factors like electricity capacity, availability, reliability, and safety. By examining these attributes, the survey offers a more comprehensive understanding of energy access in Rwanda, highlighting the nuanced challenges and opportunities in the country’s ongoing energy transition.
