Rusumo Hydroelectric Power Station, also Rusumo Power Station, is a proposed hydropower plant, with initial planned capacity installation of 80 megawatts (110,000 hp) when completed. The project will involve the construction of a dam, with run of river design. A 90 megawatts (120,000 hp) reservoir design had been envisaged but was abandoned in favor of an 80 MW design with a smaller environmental impact and an estimated cost of US$300 million as opposed to US$400 million for the bigger project. The World Bank announced, on 6 August 2013, that it had approved loans totaling US$US$340 million towards the US$468.60 million needed for the project. In November 2013, the African Development Bank approved a loan of US$113 million towards the completion of the project.
