The proceeds of the Bond, according to ENERGICOTEL “ECTL” PLC, will be used for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to refinancing the company’s existing bank loan, investment into operational power plants and bond issuance related expenses.

The listing is expected to further showcase the Rwanda Stock Market as an avenue for generating long term financing for project development from local and international institutional and retail investors.

“This is part of a wider program that we have embarked on in partnership with the Capital Market Authority (CMA) and other stakeholders which is key in assisting SMEs to explore available financing opportunities in the capital market,” said Jean Bosco Iyacu, CEO, Access to Finance Rwanda.

He added that, “This will play a vital role in accelerating Rwanda’s inclusive economic growth both in the creation and expansion of investments and descent jobs opportunities.”

– 2023/24 outlines that the Government targets to achieve 100% penetration by 2024 with 52% being
connected to the grid and 48% through off grid solutions.
