 Burundi also benefits from imports from the regional hydro plants of Rusizi I and II, which are operated by Société Nationale d’Electricité (SNEL), and SINELAC, respectively. Currently, these imports account for 40% of the electricity consumption.

 In 2006, the electricity production from national plants Ruzizi I and II was 152,056 MWh whilst the consumption (billed power) was 105,077 MWh. The losses represented 30% of produced energy. The potential of production of 300 MW in exploitable hydro energy in Burundi can be observed through its geographical relief and the abundant precipitation. Burundi carries an important hydro-electric power potential, but only exploits slightly more than than10 % of this (32 MW). As of 2006, 35,230 clients were registered and billed<ref>DGEE (2007)</ref><ref name="Energy resource">GTZ (2007): Eastern Africa Resource Base: GTZ Online Regional Energy Resource Base: Regional and Country Specific Energy Resource Database: II - Energy Resource.</ref>.

 The institutional framework in Burundi is complicated by the fact that multiple ministries and agencies have overlapping responsibilities for the energy sector. Four ministries (Energy and Mines; Communal Development; Planning and Finance) play an active role in defining and executing government policy in the energy sector.

 The Burundian Centre for Alternative Energies (Centre d'Etudes Burundais en Energies Alternatives - CEBEA) was created with its general mission of applied research in renewable energy. Originally its main task focused on wind energy. In the late 80ies, CEBEA installed many imported photovoltaic modules on health centres and schools and had a production schedule of the solar equipment for cooking (solar cookers), for heating (solar heaters) and for drying. CEBEA suffered from a drastically reduced staff number and hardly any operational budget.

 The Régie de Production et de Distribution d'Eau et d’Electricité – REGIDESO, (Directorate for Production and Distribution of Water and Electricity) is state controlled. Its assignment is to ensure production, transportation, distribution and commercialisation of electricity and drinking water in urban areas or rural centres. It is endowed with financial autonomy and is under the supervision of the Ministry of Water, Energy and Mining. REGIDESO exploits by itself 96.5% of the hydro power installed at national level.

 The consumption of commercial energy is very low with only 14 kg oil equivalent or 163 kWh per year and capita (2001), one of the lowest in the world. Petroleum products (crude oil, LPG) account for 2,5 % and hydropower for another 2,5% of the energy consumption. All petroleum products (70 – 85 kilotons per year) have to be imported and transported over at least 1,400 km through neighboring countries before they reach Burundi. Consequently, petroleum is comparatively expensive and a high burden on the national budget. The market price for Diesel and Gasoline is around 1.20 US$ per liter. Petroleum products are used for transportation, for industrial purposes and for power generation in diesel run thermal plants.

 Burundi faces severe constraints in electricity supply. The supply deficit currently varies between 12.9 MW during the wet season and 23.5 MW during the dry season when the country’s main hydropower plants are running at reduced capacity. The deficit in the power supply leads to frequent outages. A large percentage of firms in Burundi have their own back-up generator, or share access to one. Back-up generators typically cost US$ 0.40 to US$ 0.50 per kWh to run, cutting into business profits and reducing the ability of local business to compete in regional and international markets. The impact of power cuts is considered one of the key hurdles to economic growth. Demand for electricity is expected to continue to rise steadily as the economy improves, returning refugees re-establish themselves and standards of living increase. Peak demand occurs during the evening hours and emanates mainly from household lighting needs.
