To date, there are three solar photovoltaic power plants connected to the grid, namely; GIGAWATT Global Solar Power, Jali Solar Power and Nasho Solar Power Plant located in Rwamagana, Gasabo
Rwanda''s 8.5 MW solar plant, designed by Gigawatt Global, Norfund, and Scatec Solar, quickly increased the country''s generation capacity by 6% and powers over 15,000 homes.
These pivotal initiatives include the development of the Gishali Solar Plant in Rwamagana, the Gahanga Solar Plant in Gasabo, and a new solar facility in Nyagatare.

Two solar PV plants, namely, GIGAWATT Global Solar Power (8.5 MW) and Jali Solar Power (0.25 MW), are connected to the national grid in the districts of Rwamagana and Gasabo,
The power station consists of 28,360 individual photovoltaic panels spread out on a 50 acres (20 ha) field. The final construction price, including the cost to access the national grid came to US$23.7 million.
Solar PV systems are globally known as the best choice for electric power generation. The research has shown that solar is abundant in more than 70% of Rwandan territory, But still, the exploitation of solar
In July 2013, the government of Rwanda contracted with GigaWatt Global, a Dutch firm, to develop an 8.5 Megawatt solar power plant in Rwamagana District, Eastern Province, for a contract price of US$23 million (RwF:15 billion). GigaWatt Global would finance, build, own and operate the facility for 25 years, with the power produced sold to Rwanda Energy, the national electricity utility. In February 2014, GigaWatt Global was able to reach financial closure, allowing construction to begin.
21 mini hydro power plants are operational in Rwanda, supplying electricity directly to the grid under the PPA arrangement. large hydro power plants, currently, 7 grid-connected large plants provide 137.5
