History
The preliminary report on implementation of the Strategic Framework for the Fight against Poverty 2012-2015 gen2 (CSLP II), recommended construction of three micro hydroelectric power stations, including Nyamyotsi (350 kilowatts) in Kibimba.[1] In September 2015 the new governor of the Mwaro Province. Jean Marie Nyakarerwa, inherited the project to build a dam in Nyamyotsi in the Commune of Ndava on the Kaniga river to supply the Kibimba village.[2] The Nyamyotsi plant on the Kaniga came into service in 2018.[3]
