Abstract: . . .  project/organization faces and how you will overcome them. Describe the extent to which your project has local participation/support. If relevant, describe the extent to which your project addresses environmental problems or generates environmental benefits. Wind energy is an economically sound, renewable resource, which produces no environmentally harmful waste or emission and works well in conjunction with Rwanda’s current hydroelectric power. After our feasibility study has been conducted and there is proof of good winds for electricity generation, our biggest . . .

I look forward to establishing a rural energy programme framework in the near future. 9  . . .

Locally, our marketing plan is to disseminate the idea of wind energy through radio, television and local newspapers. Our financial plan is to work with local financial entities to create community-banking systems, which will give loans to rural communities for wind-generated electricity. On the international level, our marketing plan has already started. Rwindalectric is a partner of Global . . .

Rwindalectric is a partner of Global Village Energy Partnership (GVEP) and a member of the African Wind Energy Association (AfriWEA). We have also appeared under the title Wind energy for Rwanda in the ESI Africa issue 3 of 2005, produced by Spintelligent, which is read by more than 5000 suppliers in Africa and around the world. We also intend to improve our website and to produce articles and newsletters that will be distributed to companies in the wind energy industry and to donors and grant . . .

The very low level of Lakes Bulera and Ruhondo caused ELECTROGAZ to reduce the generation from Ntaruka ( from 11.25 MW to 2.5 MW) and Mukungwa (from 12.5 MW to 5 MW) hydro power stations and to implement a comprehensive load shedding programme. New thermal stations were installed in late 2004 and early 2005 to alleviate the gap of 25 -30 MW. Despite this additional therrnal generation, it is clear that the Country is still in deficit and there is pressing . . .
