Does Uganda have a solar power plant?
According to the Uganda National Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Alliance, Uganda has an average solar insolation of 5.1 kWh/m 2 (2020). There is a plan for a 10 MW solar photovoltaic power plant to be located in the West Nile region. The construction is set to begin in 2021 (Construction Review Online 2020).
Is the wind energy resource in Uganda sufficient for large-scale electricity generation?
This study concluded that the wind energy resource in Uganda is insufficient for large-scale electricity generation. However, the wind resource may be suitable for special applications, such as water pumping in remote areas and for small-scale electricity generation in mountainous areas.
Why is the energy sector important in Uganda?
The energy sector is one of the key sectors of the Ugandan economy. The sector provides a major contribution to the treasury resources from fuel taxes, VAT on electricity, levy on transmission bulk purchases of electricity, license fees and royalties and foreign exchange earnings from power exports.
What is the largest solar plant in Uganda?
The largest solar plant in Uganda is the 20 MW Kabulasoke Pilot Solar Park. It is in the central Ugandan district of Gomba and was commissioned in 2019 (Xinhua 2019). The project was installed by The Xsabo Group, a private company.
What is Uganda's main source of energy?
Uganda’s main source of energy is biomass. Regarding electrical power generation, hydropower accounts for about 84% of the total installed capacity of 822 MW. The actual total electricity capacity is 550 MW and the country’s peak demand is about 489 MW. According to the NDP the peak power demand is rising about 22.7% per annum.
What is Uganda's energy potential?
Uganda has extensive energy resources with an empirical generation potential close to 5300 MW (UNREEEA 2020). This includes an energy potential of up to 1650 MW of biomass cogeneration, 450 MW of geothermal, and 2000 MW of hydropower (UNREEEA 2020). The country has the potential of 50 million tons of biomass yield annually.
