Why do we need hydropower & solar energy in Kampala?
Therefore, the sustainable energy portfolio for the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area relies heavily on hydropower and PV-solar technologies for electrical power production because hydropower & solar energy are abundant in the GKMA, and their presence in the energy mix promotes SDG7.
How sustainable is the Kampala Metro?
The analysis shows that sustainability is plausible by optimizing the total primary energy supply, electrical power production from PV-solar & hydropower technologies, and switching 90% of passengers of the road category to the Kampala metro. 1. Introduction
Will electrified Kampala Metro reduce the consumption of fossil fuels?
The GKMA-TIMES model analysis shows that the consumption of fossil fuels in the transportation sector would reduce if management sets up an electrified Kampala metro and switches 90% of the passengers to the railway category.
Why does Kampala need an electrified Metro?
The metropolitan depends on imported refined petroleum through Mombasa, Kenya. Petroleum demand reduces by 45.21% when 90% of road passengers switch to the passenger railway category. Therefore, the construction of an electrified Kampala metro becomes the central focus for policy changes over the planning period. Figure 7.
How can Uganda improve energy access?
Uganda has a large community of international development partners in the energy sector. Better co-ordination and management of international donor support to facilitate improved energy access and better value for money and the reduction of duplication would benefit Uganda significantly.
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.
