Source Intelligence
Rwanda plans to invest up to $6 billion in nuclear power plants as part of its strategy to secure reliable electricity and support long-term economic growth. The country intends to deploy small modular reactors (SMRs) to expand electricity generation. The nuclear programme is expected to help Rwanda expand its electricity generation capacity toward about 5 gigawatts by 2050. Rwanda aims to become a high-income economy by 2050. The government established the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board to oversee the sector. Rwanda plans to build a workforce of around 230 specialised professionals by 2028 to operate and regulate the sector. Financing remains one of the biggest obstacles for countries trying to develop nuclear energy. Rwanda plans to use nuclear technology mainly for civilian purposes, including electricity generation and medical applications. Rwanda will host the 2026 Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa in Kigali.
