Engie Energy Access Rwanda, a subsidiary of the internationally recognized energy leader ENGIE, has introduced an advanced solar energy system designed to cater to substantial energy demands across various sectors. This new system, named “MySol Boss,” is tailored to provide reliable and sustainable power for commercial businesses, educational institutions, and residential properties with high energy requirements.
The launch of MySol Boss took place during the Energy Week Conference and Exhibition 2024, an event hosted in Kigali and running for the next three days. This significant event, organized by the Rwanda Energy Private Developers (EPD), serves as a platform for showcasing cutting-edge innovations in the renewable energy sector.
The conference and exhibition bring together a wide array of participants, including local stakeholders, regional energy experts, and international renewable energy leaders. Notably, the event also features representatives from the Scottish government, highlighting its global reach and the collaborative spirit of the renewable energy community.
Patrick Mugabo, Head of Operations at Engie Energy Access Rwanda, emphasized that the MySol Boss solar energy system will offer a significant advancement in clean and affordable energy solutions. This new system is available for purchase outright or through a financing plan with a repayment period of up to 36 months, reflecting the same flexible options provided for other products in the MySol range.

The MySol Boss system is designed to meet the energy needs of a wide array of sectors. It will be particularly beneficial for residential homes, small business enterprises, educational institutions, agricultural irrigation systems, health centers, cooperatives, upscale residential complexes, boarding schools, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, hospitals, and hotels.
This launch is part of a broader display of renewable energy innovations at the Energy Week Conference and Exhibition 2024, an event dedicated to exploring and advancing Rwanda’s transition to renewable energy. The conference, themed “Accelerating Rwanda’s Renewable Energy Transition and Adoption,” serves as a key platform for showcasing cutting-edge technologies and fostering discussions on sustainable energy solutions.
Serge Wilson Muhizi, CEO of EPD, highlighted the transformative impact of the Energy Week, which has been a key event since 2017. He pointed out that the event has not only facilitated considerable growth but has also played a crucial role in advancing Rwanda’s energy goals.
Muhizi stated, “We are committed to encouraging investments, driving policy improvements, supporting technological innovations, and strengthening collaborations that are vital for progress in the energy sector.”
Currently, Rwanda has achieved 80% household electricity access, with 57% of these households connected to the national power grid. The country is focused on meeting its goal of universal energy access, as outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7).
Under the second phase of its National Strategy for Transformation (NST2), Rwanda aims to reach 100% electricity access for both residential and productive use areas by 2030. This ambitious plan is designed to support sustainable development and economic growth.

Minister of Infrastructure Engineer Jimmy Gasore, who inaugurated the conference and exhibition, emphasized Rwanda’s proactive stance on achieving universal access to sustainable energy. He noted that efforts are being made to reduce the country’s reliance on biomass and to promote energy efficiency across all sectors, reflecting Rwanda’s commitment to a more sustainable energy future.
In his opening address, the Minister highlighted that Rwanda’s transition to renewable energy presents a significant opportunity. Not only will it address the country’s current energy needs, but it also has the potential to establish Rwanda as a leading force in clean energy solutions throughout Africa.
During the panel discussion titled “Strategies for Developing Green and Sustainable Industry Policies,” Patrick Mugabo, Head of Operations at Engie Energy Access Rwanda, emphasized the crucial role of MySol in supporting the government’s energy policies and strategic initiatives. He explained that MySol contributes significantly to the successful implementation of these strategies by developing cutting-edge energy solutions tailored to Rwanda’s needs.

Stephen Ruzibiza, CEO of the Rwanda Private Sector Federation (PSF), called for increased collaboration among local and international energy developers to advance beyond the current 60% renewable energy usage in Rwanda. He stressed the importance of creating a competitive and customer-centric energy market that is both affordable and sustainable. Ruzibiza underscored that achieving these goals is not only about meeting current energy targets but also ensuring long-term profitability and impact in the energy sector.
