Quarterly electricity generation in kilowatt-hours for each of the roughly 44 power plants on Rwanda's grid, from Table 1 of the RURA Electricity Statistics Report (underlying data from EUCL-REG, the national utility). Every plant is tagged by fuel source (hydro, methane gas, peat, thermal fuel oil, or solar) and by ownership (domestic, regional shared, or imported), using a curated map that is validated against the report's own published generation-mix percentages for every quarter. The series ranges from large stations such as Nyabarongo, KivuWatt and Shema Power down to dozens of mini-hydro plants, and shows how Lake Kivu methane gas has grown to rival hydropower as Rwanda's leading source. This is the previously deferred per-plant detail of the headline electricity generation dataset.

Lake Kivu methane gas edged past hydropower as Rwanda's largest domestic electricity source in Q2 2024: two plants, KivuWatt and Shema Power, generated 141 million kWh against 138 million from more than 30 hydro stations combined.
