The Jiji Hydroelectric Power Plant (French: '''Centrale Hydroélectrique de Jiji''') is a hydroelectric power station in the Bururi Province of Burundi.As of 2024 it was nearing completion.
The Jiji Hydroelectric Power Plant is a run-of the river hydroelectric power plant in the Songa Commune of Bururi Province in southern Burundi.It is on the Jiji River, near the point where the Jiji River joins the Murembwe River.The Jiji dam is upstream, directing water along a supply conduit to a tunnel which leads to the forebay.From there a penstock carries the water down to the power station.
The power station is being built as part of the Jiji and Murembwe Hydroelectric Project.It will be owned and operated by REGIDESO Burundi, part of the Ministry of Hydraulics, Energy and Mines.
The Jiji Hydroelectric Power Plant will exploit a head height of with a capacity of 32.5 MW.The Jiji dam is upstream, and creates a water storage reservoir.Water is routed from this reservoir through a grit trap to remove solid matter, then through a tunnel to the head of the penstock.From the forebay the penstock carries the water down to the power station.
A 110 kV power line runs north from the Jiji station up the Mulembwe River to the Murembwe Hydroelectric Power Plant, where it is joined by a 110 kV power line from that station. The two lines run east to the Horezo switchyard on RP 403 highway.From there, lines run north towards Kabezi and Bujumbura, and southeast towards Bururi.
