On 16 October 2026, the Government of Burundi and Weza Power, an Anzana Electric Group, signed a public-private partnership (PPP) agreement that will mobilize US$1.4 billion to speed up the country’s electrification efforts. Under the 25-year agreement, the initiative aims to extend electricity distribution networks to more than half of Burundi. The deal also represents Africa’s first new national-scale electricity distribution concession managed by a private company in several decades, marking a notable development for Burundi and the continent’s energy sector.
