Mu gihe ibiciro by’ibicuruzwa bitandukanye, birimo n’ibikomoka ku ngufu, bikomeje kuzamuka, sosiyete icuruza gaz mu Rwanda ya Jibu Gas One yashyizeho uburyo bushya bwo kuyigurisha hakurikijwe amafaranga umukiliya afite, aho bitakiri ngombwa ko agura icupa ryuzuye.

Iyi sosiyete ikomoka mu Buyapani yinjiye ku isoko ry’u Rwanda mu 2024, ikorana na Jibu Rwanda isanzwe izwi mu gutunganya no gucuruza amazi yo kunywa. Nyuma yo gutangira ibikorwa byo gucuruza gaz nk’izindi sosiyete, muri Nzeri 2025 yatangije gahunda yo kuyigurisha mu rugero rw’amafaranga umukiliya afite.

Ubu buryo bwatangiriye kuri rimwe mu mashami y’ikigo Jibu Gas riherereye Mujyi wa Kigali. Sosiyete iteganya kubwagurira mu tundi turere turimo Kayonza, Nyagatare na Bumbogo mbere y’uko uyu mwaka urangira, ndetse ikazakomereza no mu bindi bice by’igihugu.

Umuyobozi ushinzwe ubucuruzi muri Jibu Gas One, Muhoza Eugène, yavuze ko iyi gahunda igamije gufasha cyane cyane abaturage bafite amikoro make gukomeza gukoresha gaz, aho gusubira ku nkwi cyangwa amakara iyo badafite ubushobozi bwo kugura icupa ryuzuye.

Yagize ati: “Hari igihe umuntu aba afite amafaranga ahagije yo kugura ibilo bitatu gusa kandi icupa rye rijyamo ibilo bitandatu cyangwa 12. Icyo gihe tumushyiramo gaz ingana n’ayo mafaranga afite, bityo ntasubire ku gukoresha inkwi cyangwa amakara kubera ikibazo cy’amikoro.”

Muhoza yasobanuye ko gaz ipimwa hifashishijwe umunzani ugenzura neza ibiro umukiliya yaguze, bityo hakirindwa amakimbirane ashobora guterwa no kutamenya ingano nyayo ya gaz yashyizwe mu icupa. Yanavuze ko bakira amacupa y’amasosiyete yose acuruza gaz, bityo umukiliya ntasabwe guhindura icupa kugira ngo ahabwe serivisi.

Yagaragaje ko ushaka gushora imari muri ubu buryo asabwa kuba afite ikigega cya gaz gifite ubushobozi nibura bwa toni imwe, imashini yifashishwa mu kuzuza amacupa, ndetse n’ahantu hagutse nibura hafite metero kare 600 kugira ngo ibikorwa bikorwe mu mutekano.

Kuva iyi gahunda yatangira muri Nzeri 2025, ishami rya Jibu Gas One ry’i Kacyiru rivuga ko ribasha gucuruza nibura toni imwe ya gaz mu minsi itatu, ibintu sosiyete ivuga ko bigaragaza ko abaturage bagenda bayitabira.

Muhoza yashishikarije abandi bashoramari gushora imari muri ubu buryo, agaragaza ko bwagura umubare w’abakiliya kandi bukaba ari ishoramari rifite ejo hazaza. Yanahumurije abafite impungenge zo gukoresha gaz ko iyo ikoreshwe neza kandi ikubahiriza amabwiriza y’umutekano, idateza impanuka.

Iyi gahunda ije mu gihe imibare y’Ubushakashatsi bwa Karindwi ku Mibereho y’Ingo (EICV7) bwashyizwe ahagaragara n’Ikigo cy’Igihugu cy’Ibarurishamibare (NISR), igaragaza ko gukoresha gaz mu guteka bikiri hasi mu Rwanda. Ubu bushakashatsi bwerekana ko 75% by’ingo zikoresha inkwi, 18% zigakoresha amakara, mu gihe izikoresha gaz zingana na 5,4% gusa.

Mu Mujyi wa Kigali, 23% by’ingo ni zo zitekesha gaz, mu gihe 51% zigikoresha amakara naho 17% zigakoresha inkwi.

Leta y’u Rwanda ikomeje gushyira imbaraga mu kongera ikoreshwa rya gaz nk’imwe mu ngamba zo kugabanya ikoreshwa ry’inkwi n’amakara no kurengera ibidukikije. Muri urwo rwego, igihugu kiri hafi kurangiza ibigega bishya bya gaz biri kubakwa i Rusororo mu Mujyi wa Kigali, bifite ubushobozi bwa metero kibe 17.100, bikazabasha kubika litiro miliyoni 17 za gaz yo gutekesha. Biteganyijwe ko ibi bizafasha kongera ububiko bwa gaz mu gihugu no korohereza abaturage kuyibona.

Iyi nkuru yubatswe mu buryo bwa gihanga bwa raporo y’itangazamakuru, itangirira ku makuru y’ingenzi, igakurikirwa n’ibisobanuro, amagambo y’uwavuze, imibare n’icyo bivuze ku isoko rya gaz n’abaturage.
