Consignments for Rwanda move Sea to Dar es Salaam, then road on the Central Corridor to Kigali, about 1,400 km; or via Mombasa on the Northern Corridor.

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 distribution as the national standard, with 15 kV in Kigali and Rwamagana; 110 kV and 220 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Rwanda Energy Group: Energy Utility Corporation (EUCL) and Energy Development Corporation (EDCL), regulated by Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA). Import conformity: Rwanda Standards Board (RSB) import conformity and REG reticulation standards; IEC designs.
LT cable was the second product line the business added, back when it made only poles. It is now a 1,000 kilometre a month operation, and it underpins the underground cable work we are known for in the field.
Because we lay cable as well as make it, the specification we manufacture to is the one we then have to install, joint and commission ourselves. That tends to concentrate the mind on the things that matter — insulation wall consistency, armour quality and drum handling.
