Rwanda’s energy mix is characterized by a heavy reliance on biomass for total energy consumption and a diverse, rapidly expanding electricity generation portfolio led by hydropower and methane gas.

Rwanda is actively pursuing a green hydrogen economy to diversify its renewable energy mix, focusing on utilizing its hydrological potential and increasing electricity access. The 2024 Electricity Law incentivizes 100% green hydrogen/ammonia projects with tax exemptions on electrolysis equipment, land fee reductions for up to nine years, and long-term power purchase agreements. The country is investing in feasibility studies for hydrogen technology, including a pilot 10MW hydrogen power project.

As of February 2026, there’s no information indicating that Rwanda is producing green hydrogen from electrolysis.
