Rwanda plans to adopt a lower power tariff for industries as an incentive for investment as it seeks to build its manufacturing base. The government has commissioned a study on the existing energy tariff regime, whose results will guide the process of adjusting the rates.
The cost of energy in Rwanda, estimated at $0.22 per kilowatt-hour (KWh), is higher than that in the other East African countries, where it is $0.08 to $0.10, according to World Bank figures.
