Understanding Peak Energy Demand ⚡️

“Peak periods for the grid are usually between 6:00 PM and 11:00 PM.” — Jones Kizihira, Managing Director of BasiGo Rwanda Electricity demand isn’t the same throughout the day. During peak hours, homes consume more power as people switch on lights, TVs and appliances, shifting more of the grid’s capacity toward residential areas. Jones Kizihira explains how peak and off-peak energy periods work, what they mean for high-energy consumers like factories and electric bus depots, and why managing when electricity is used matters as electric mobility grows in Rwanda. #TheLongFormPodcast #ElectricMobility #BasiGo #Rwanda #Energy #ElectricVehicles
