EDF International Networks

🌍 Supporting REGIDESO in Strengthening Asset Maintenance and Network Reliability.
 
In Burundi, EDF International Networks recently completed a technical assistance mission for REGIDESO focused on strengthening the maintenance of electrical infrastructure. Supported by experts from EDF Hydro, the project drew on expertise across generation, transmission and distribution systems to assess existing practices, identify operational constraints and review maintenance organization in the field alongside REGIDESO engineers and technicians.

🔹 Through site visits, technical workshops and direct exchanges with local teams, the mission highlighted practical improvement opportunities tailored to REGIDESO’s network and operating environment. The resulting recommendations were translated into a roadmap aimed at strengthening maintenance processes, improving equipment reliability and supporting more resilient network operations.
 
🤝 Beyond the technical findings, the value of this assignment lay in the quality of the discussions with REGIDESO teams. Combining local operational knowledge with international utility experience helped build a shared understanding of priorities and identify realistic actions to support the long-term performance of the power system in Burundi
