HISTORY

Tahacel Company Ltd started in 2018, with a goal to protect and conserve the environment by reducing the number of people using wood in their cooking through distribution of LPG cooking Gas and Accessories (Gas Stove, Gas cylinder 12kg and 6kg, Gas regulator, Gas hose, Clips) at affordable prices. This program to reduce the use of forest products, Tahacel company ltd, began in various districts of Rwanda. In partnership with Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCO) and other institutions we sold single burner gas stoves Tier 4 with gas 6kg and two burner gas stove 12kg of Tier 5. Customers made their contributions in instalments in six months or a year (PAYGO).

In 2022, Tahacel Company Ltd signed a contract with the Government of Rwanda, financed by the World Bank, project of Clean Cooking Results Based Financing (CC-RBF) to support the Government of Rwanda’s target of reducing the percentage of households that use firewood for cooking from a baseline value of 79.90% in 2017 to 42% by 2024, the Development Bank of Rwanda Plc (BRD) in partnership with Energy Development Corporation Ltd (EDCL) launched a Clean Cooking Results-based Financing (CC-RBF) subsidy scheme. The CC-RBF are implemented by EDCL and BRD.

The subsidy is designed to address the affordability of clean cooking technologies through the reduction of system prices at varying amounts allocated for Ubudehe 1, 2, and 3 categories, and aiming to reach up to the lowest income population in Rwanda.

The subsidy window is co-financed by the World Bank’s Clean Cooking Fund through Rwanda Energy Access and Quality Improvement Project (EAQIP). The CC-RBF expects to trigger at least 500,000 households (of which 25% are supposed to be female-headed households) gain access to clean cooking technologies.
