Maintenance of Hydropower Potential in Rwanda Through Ecosystem Restoration
The document details Rwanda's 2004 electricity crisis, caused by declining water levels in Lake Bulera due to watershed degradation and poor maintenance of the Ntaruka hydropower station. In response, the government implemented strict land-use policies, including banning agricultural activities in the Rugezi Wetlands, and launched ecosystem restoration projects. These efforts restored the Ntaruka plant to full capacity by October 2007 and prompted Rwanda to diversify its energy portfolio into methane, geothermal, and solar power to increase climate resilience.
