Ruzizi III Hydroelectric Power Station is a proposed hydropower plant with planned capacity installation of 206 MW when completed.
[1][2] The power station is located on Ruzizi River, straddling the common border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DC).
Its location is approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) directly west of the town of Bugarama, in Rusizi District, in Rwanda's Western Province, approximately 280 kilometres (174 mi), southwest of Kigali, the capital city of that country.
[8] In August 2019, it was reported that the three African governments concerned had jointly selected Scatec (formerly SN Power) and Industrial Promotion Services (IPS) to execute this renewable energy infrastructure project.
The consortium formed a joint venture company, called Ruzizi III Energy Limited (REL).
