The Rwandan government announced that it will reform its energy and water sector. The former national utility, the Energy, Water, and Sanitation Authority (EWSA Ltd.) was divided into two separate companies. The Rwanda Energy Group Ltd. (REG Ltd.) and the Water & Sanitation Corp. Ltd. (WASAC Ltd.).
The utility said the government was committed to accelerate economic growth and improve social welfare. It added, “Infrastructure is one of the key pillars, where energy and water utilities play a critical role.”
Meanwhile, iPAD Rwanda Power & Infrastructure Investment Forum event director Emmanuelle Nicholls said: “I want to invite investors to tap into Rwanda’s vast potential.” The event, to be held from November 3-4 in Kigali, will see Rwandan government officials take center stage alongside the Rwanda Development Board and the country’s national utility.
“Rwanda is open for business: there are enormous investment opportunities in the country’s power and infrastructure sectors and the Kigali government has proven that it can provide a stable and investor-friendly business climate”, Nicholls added.
