The document discusses a solar project in Rwanda that aims to increase access to electricity. Rwanda has a growing population of 11 million people but less than 15% have access to power currently. The government is committed to improving energy supply as only 90 megawatts of power is installed currently to serve the population. The solar project involves building utility-scale solar power that will provide clean, renewable energy to more of the population.
