Energy Planning Strategies for Burundi The Burundian energy supply highly depends on traditional use of biomass. The literature shows that the power supply of this country mainly relies on hydropower generation. Many hydropower projects are under development to increase the electricity access of this country .
Although the country is endowed with a huge potential for various energy resources , there is higher uncertainty about what will become the Burundian power sector in long-run. This uncertainty is higher as the target of reaching 30% of electrification rate in 2030 is still far from the current situation (Fig. 2).
Despite some efforts in the region to increase energy supply at national and regional levels , Burundi is lagging from meeting its total power demand: 10% of its population had access to electricity in 2012 , this access rate has only turned to 11% in 2019 according to World Bank data.
Limited capability and resources to improve energy efficiency are also the main factors contributing to the increase of Burundian energy demand. Incorporating these factors into energy demand forecasts is crucial for a capital constrained developing country, like Burundi, where reliable energy supply capability is limited. 4.2.
As the Burundian power supply not matching the domestic energy demand , the energy needs is mostly represented by traditional biomass at about 96% of total energy consumption, mostly used for cooking in rural areas (in traditional way) and urban areas as charcoal .
A great portion of energy consumption in EAC is traditional biomass. Burundi accounts 96.6% of total consumption in form of wood and charcoal whereas electricity, petroleum products and other are respectively represented by 0.6%, 2.7% and 0.1% . The reliance on traditional use of biomass in Kenya is 68% of its total energy consumption .
