Logistics and network
Shipping to Burundi.
Consignments for Burundi move Sea to Dar es Salaam, then road on the Central Corridor to Bujumbura, about 1,400 km. Typical transit is 12 to 16 days to port, 7 to 10 days road; discharge at Dar es Salaam, then road. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva; CIF Dar es Salaam on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 400/230 V low-voltage supply and 30 kV medium-voltage distribution; 70 kV and 110 kV transmission, 220 kV interconnection under construction. Distribution is operated by REGIDESO, regulated by Agence de Regulation des secteurs de l'Eau potable et de l'Energie (AREEN). Import conformity: Burundi Bureau of Standards (BBN) and REGIDESO technical specifications; IEC designs.
The power transformer line closed the last gap in the chain. Between distribution and power class we now cover 16 kVA right through to 20 MVA — a span very few regional manufacturers hold on a single site.
The standard substation build is 33/11 kV, Dyn11, ONAN, with an off-circuit tap changer at +5% to −10%. Where the network needs voltage regulation under load we fit an on-load tap changer at +5% to −15%, and where the load profile justifies forced cooling we supply ONAF with a rated output at each cooling stage.
