Ruzizi III Energy Limited was honored to welcome Ms. Tiffany Sadler, the UK Special Envoy to the Great Lakes, on 7 May 2025, alongside key development partners from DR Congo and Rwanda, to a high-level meeting focused on the Ruzizi III Regional Hydropower Project.
The meeting underscored the significance of the Ruzizi III Project, a transformative tri-national initiative between Burundi, DR Congo, and Rwanda, as the first major shared infrastructure investment in over 30 years among the three countries. Once operational, the Project will provide clean, reliable power to over 30 million people across the Great Lakes region, while promoting regional energy access, sustainability, and long-term peace and cooperation.
The discussion also highlighted the important role of British International Investment (BII), a key stakeholder in the Project, contributing both as a lender and investor to support the successful delivery of this impactful regional initiative.
The proposed 206 MW Ruzizi III is planned as a run-of-river hydropower project and will be located on the River Ruzizi, which flows from Lake Kivu to Lake Tanganyika. [ Read More ]
