Rwanda set to manufacture hydro power turbines

Rwanda is examining possibilities through which it can manufacture turbines for small and micro hydropower plants as a way of cutting energy cost. “We are convinced that Rwanda will also be able to manufacture turbines for pico and micro installations, locally, which will allow us to lower costs and improve local skills,” State Minister in Charge of Energy and Water, Eng. Coletha U. Ruhamya, said
