Solar Africa - Rwanda Solar Energy Field.
8.5 Megawatt (MW) solar field at the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village. Rwanda is in dire need of electricity – less than 15 per cent of the population has access to power, and the country relies on diesel fuel, which is highly polluting. With the project, the East African nation’s generating capacity surged six per cent. Photo by USAID / Power Africa. GPA Photo Archive via Flickr
