GET.invest Market Insights: Burundi
GreenMax prepared five Market Insights Packages for GET.invest across Mozambique, Burundi, Uganda and Nigeria, assessing market opportunities, regulatory environments and competitive landscapes in key renewable energy segments.
Under its 'Market Insights' platform, GET.invest shares information on countries, markets and financing opportunities to help clean energy project developers and business owners understand the steps involved in developing a project or running a business in a certain country and/or specific renewable energy market segment.
In 2021, GreenMax was retained by GET.invest to prepare Market Insights for Burundi, through a Developer Guide. This Guide describes key market actors, deployed business models, small hydropower’s market size, growth drivers, barriers, potential financiers, and other opportunities and challenges for small hydropower development in Burundi. The “Route-to-Market” section outlines practical steps to leverage GET.invest’s market research, including investment opportunities, market sizing, business registration, regulations, financing, and energy supplier profiles. Two hypothetical model business cases provide concrete financial analysis examples: 1) a 100 kW hybrid solar PV-micro hydropower mini-grid for an off-grid rural community, and 2) a 150 kW hydropower project for a grid-connected tea processing facility.
