About this project

The ASYV 8.5MW Solar PV project (CPA-001) forms part of the Gigawatt Global Programme of Activities, which seeks to promote grid connected renewable energy projects in Rwanda. The CPA falls under CPA type I “Greenfield small-scale solar PV power plants/units in Rwanda applying automatic additionality”, which is one of the five CPA types eligible for inclusion under the PoA. The CPA has installed a new renewable energy power plant at a site where none existed prior to the implementation of the project activity (Greenfield plant). The CPA is located in Rwamagana District, Rubona Sector, Karambi cell at the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (ASYV), approximately nine kilometres from the main Kigali-Kagitumba highway. The site is about 50km from Kigali, Rwanda’s capital. The CPA uses solar photovoltaic (PV) modules with a single axis tracking system. The CPA has a peak output capacity of 8.5 MWp consisting of 28,360 solar PV modules and covering 16 hectares. The project was commissioned on 18 September 2014 and has been operational since then.
