Elsewedy Electric Rwanda Cable Project Milestone
On April 1, 2022,ย Elsewedy Electricย (official site) announced two major milestones in Rwandaโs energy market. The company secured an order forย 185.5 km of cableย from a Rwandan business, and it also completed theย first orderย from its new plant in theย Elsewedy Industrial Complex. This project strengthens Elsewedy Electricโs position as a regional power solutions provider and opens the door to further work in East Africa.
Elsewedy Electric officially enteredย Rwandaโs marketย through anย EPC contractย withย Rwanda Energy Groupย viaย EPC Africaย and its subsidiaryย Afrilott LTD. In this EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) model, Elsewedy Electric manages the full project lifecycle, from design and material sourcing to construction and delivery. As a result, the company can provide a complete, endโtoโend infrastructure solution that supports Rwandaโs longโterm power strategy.
Under the agreement, Elsewedy Electric suppliedย 185.5 km of ACSR overhead (OH) cablesย to help reinforce Rwandaโs power grid. These cables support the countryโs development efforts, which face rising demand and limited existing supply. Moreover, theย Elsewedy Industrial Complexย produced and delivered the order before the plantโs official inauguration, which demonstrates strong operational readiness, manufacturing capacity, and a clear commitment to the Rwandan market.
Rwanda, officially theย Republic of Rwanda, lies in theย Great Rift Valley, where theย African Great Lakes regionย meetsย East Africa. The landlocked nation sits just south of the Equator and shares borders withย Uganda,ย Tanzania,ย Burundi, and theย Democratic Republic of the Congo. Thanks to this location, Rwanda holds a strategic position for regional trade, crossโborder power projects, and broader infrastructure growth across East and Central Africa.
