A man from Rwanda, Gregory Tayi has seen an opportunity to both make some money and provide his country with something that they struggle to attain; electricity. He has decided, after many years of providing things like vegetable products and chemicals for many years he’s decided that he should take a chance and provide electricity.
For someone who has started at the bottom of the pecking order and slowly, but surely worked his way up it he started with quite literally nothing, like many other African people. His family had nothing, no money and they couldn’t even help him with his schooling fees.
Now that he is finally up and running in the business world and has been since 2007, you may imagine that the business electricity rate may be lowered a little if there are any companies in the area that he operates in are using enough electricity.
However, they may not be which is why he has decided to take a chance on putting some hydro-electric stations in some of Rwanda’s rivers. You would imagine that these would help bring more electricity to Rwanda, and they may even begin to lower the costs of his business electricity bills. Which you would imagine will save his company a fair bit of money.
With all of the electricity that he is generating, Rwanda’s businesses must be experiencing some low cost electric for business. If only we could have our business gas and electricity prices lowered in this country. There would almost be a national sigh of relief, then the next step would be just to lower the price of petrol.
