Title:
Rwanda - Scaling Up Electricity Access Program Phase II (SEAP II) - Additional Financing
Detail:
The proposed project is an additional amount of UA 16.4 Million (USD 22.97Million) under the Scaling Up Electricity Access (SEAP II) Phase II Program which aims to support the Government of Rwanda (GoR) to meet its ambitious energy targets of universal electricity access to Kigali city by 2019 and nationwide by 2024. This additional financing represents a critical step towards meeting GoR’s efforts to speed up the delivery of the Energy Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP – 2018-2024). It will scale up activities under Results Area 2 (Increase on-grid access for household and productive-use SME) for the additional amount of UA 16.4 Million (USD 22.97Million) to be focused mainly on rural areas. The activities to be scaled up include increasing on-grid access by constructing additional 19.7 km of Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV) distribution lines, installation of distribution transformers, and prepaid meters to enable connection of 200 SMEs and 28,924 households to the grid. The number of customers connected to the network would measure the degree of additional access achieved by the program.
