After independence in 1962, the state took over operations of several of the companies. Subsequently the state founded a number of state-owned companies to handle specific sectors of the economy, such as sugar, cotton, textile. . Energy in is a growing with tremendous potential.

Energy in Burundi is a growing industry with tremendous potential. As of 2020, Burundi consumes a total of 382.70 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electric energy per year. The country produces locally 69% of the electricity it consumes, with the rest imported from other countries.
Its most important power source is hydroelectric power, representing 95% of total production. It also uses energy from other renewable (wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal) and coal power plants. Burundi has the world's lowest carbon footprint per capita at 0.027 tons per capita in CO 2 emissions as of 2019.
The power station is located in the settlement of Mubuga, in the Gitega Province of Burundi, approximately 15.2 kilometres (9 mi), northeast of the city of Gitega, the political capital of that country. This power station is the first grid-connected solar project developed by an IPP in Burundi.
Another estimated 25-50 people were hired to operate the power station. In May 2023, Evariste Ndayishimiye, the president of Burundi toured the solar farm and personally gave his approval for the power station's capacity to be expanded to 15 megawatts.
A 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) governs the sale of electricity between Gigawatt Global Burundi SA and REGIDESO. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor was Voltalia of France, which was also awarded the operations, management and maintenance contract.

To produce an average of 2,000 kWh per month, a household would need a 14.34-kilowatt system consisting of between 39 and 46 solar panels, depending on the average daily sun hours in their area.. To produce an average of 2,000 kWh per month, a household would need a 14.34-kilowatt system consisting of between 39 and 46 solar panels, depending on the average daily sun hours in their area.. For a solar system to generate 2,000 kWh per month, you'll need anywhere between 25 and 65 panels, depending on factors like panel efficiency and sun hours.. Number Of Panels = 2,000 kWh/month ÷ 40.5 kWh/month = 49.38 Panels What this tells us is that we need 50 300W solar panels to generate 2,000 kWh of electricity per month. [pdf]
