Logistics and network
Shipping to Rwanda.
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. Typical transit is 12 to 16 days to port, 7 to 10 days road; discharge at Dar es Salaam or Mombasa, 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 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.
Distribution transformers are the highest-volume line on the campus — around 900 jobs a month across the full IS 1180 rating ladder, from 16 kVA agricultural units to 1000 kVA industrial supply.
Standard build is Dyn11, ONAN, 11/0.433 kV or 33/0.433 kV, with off-circuit tapping. But almost nothing here is fixed: vector group, impedance, tapping range, winding material, fittings and efficiency level are all specified by the purchaser, and we build to that schedule rather than asking you to accept ours.
