The government is still hopeful that the methane gas project in Lake Kivu will pull through.
In 2009, the government and Contour Global Ltd entered a power purchase agreement that saw the latter develop methane resources in the lake, which lies on the border with Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to produce 25 Megawatts to add to the national grid.
