Project: Remise en état de l’infrastructure d’eau et d’électricité

Demand for electricity in Burundi outstrips supply, a situation attributed to frequent power failures and insufficient power generation. The situation is made worse by an inefficient power distribution system and the heavy dependence on electricity to distribute water throughout the country.

ATI supported a European contractor on a project to rehabilitate high voltage posts, and to modernize and extend electrical protection, communications and control systems. This is part of an ongoing infrastructure upgrade project in the peri-urban areas of Bujumbura.
