Doing Business 2013 Burundi 38 GETTING ELECTRICITY Obtaining an electricity connection is essential to enable a business to conduct its most basic operations. In many economies the connection process is complicated by the multiple laws and regulations involved—covering service quality, general safety, technical standards, procurement practices and internal wiring installations. In an effort to ensure safety in the connection process while keeping connection costs reasonable, governments around the world have worked to consolidate requirements for obtaining an electricity connection. What reforms in getting electricity has Doing Business recorded in Burundi (table 4.2)? Table 4.2 How has Burundi made getting electricity easier—or not?

Doing Business 2013 Burundi 39 GETTING ELECTRICITY What are the details? The indicators reported here for Burundi are based on a set of specific procedures—the steps that an entrepreneur must complete to get a warehouse connected to electricity by the local distribution utility—identified by Doing Business. Data are collected from the distribution utility, then completed and verified by electricity regulatory agencies and independent professionals such as electrical engineers, electrical contractors and construction companies. The electricity distribution utility surveyed is the one serving the area (or areas) in which warehouses are located. If there is a choice of distribution utilities, the one serving the largest number of customers is selected. OBTAINING AN ELECTRICITY CONNECTION City: Summary of procedures for getting electricity in Burundi—and the time and cost Bujumbura Régie de Production et Name of Utility: Distribution d'Eau et d'Electricité (Regideso) The procedures are those that apply to a warehouse and electricity connection matching the standard assumptions used by Doing Business in collecting the data (see the section in this chapter on what the indicators cover). The procedures, along with the associated time and cost, are summarized below. No. Procedure Submit application at one of REGIDESO's customer service centers, await and receive estimate Time to complete Cost to complete 1 Applications cannot be submitted online. The customer goes to a REGIDESO customer service office in person and completes a form to request the connection. The documents needed for the application do not need to be notarized. The customer must specify the location of the warehouse. The customer has to provide copies of two documents, the national identification card and the family composition certificate. There is an application fee to be paid. A few days after the external inspection, the customer goes to the office of REGIDESO to obtain the estimate and to pay it. Once payment is made, REGIDESO will prepare a report of the works. This is an internal report listing all the material necessary for the connection. The report is then transmitted to the department in charge of the actual connection work. 16 calendar days BIF 3,000.0 2 No internal inspection and no certificate regarding the safety of the internal wiring has to be submitted. The electrician must be a licensed one, but not necessarily with REGIDESO. The customer takes the entire responsibility regarding the safety of the internal wiring with signing the contract. * REGIDESO inspects the site and carries out a feasibility study REGIDESO sends an engineer to the site to check the information and prepare a pro-forma if the connection is feasible and the energy required is available at that place. The pro-forma is sent to the Supervisor (Superieur hierarchique) for signature. The customer must be at the site for this visit in case the engineer of REGIDESO needs some clarification. 1 calendar day no charge
