Rwanda: Gishoma peat plant to supply grid

The 15MW Gishoma peat plant in Rusizi District has been successfully tested and is ready to be connected to the grid by early March, according to the Ministry of Infrastructure. The plant began supplying power to the Cimerwa cement plant at Bugarama last year (AE 327/10).“The testing and commissioning were done and we have been asked to fix some few issues, we are working on it and ultimate time will be end of February or beginning of March,” the New Times daily quoted marketing manager Frank Zhang of Chinese developer RUNH Power Corporation as saying.
