4 FAQs about [Uganda 9 billion wind and solar energy storage project]

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.

What is Uganda's biggest power project?

The Karuma hydroelectric dam, upstream of Ayago and due to be completed early this year by China’s Synohydro Corporation, is currently Uganda’s largest power project. The ERA would also conduct its own due diligence on POWERCHINA International to ascertain whether it had the financial and technical capacity to execute the project, Wandera said.

How is solar energy used in Uganda?

The level of solar energy utilization in Uganda is still very low. The use of solar PV began in the early 1980s mainly driven by donor-funded programmes for lighting and vaccine refrigeration in health centers. Later the Uganda Railways Cooperation, a government parastatal, installed 35kW at 29 locations for communications and signaling.

What is AMEA power doing in Uganda?

Additionally, AMEA Power has entered into an implementation agreement (IA) with Uganda’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMD). This marks AMEA Power’s first venture in an East African Community (EAC) country and paves the way for potential expansion into wind and battery energy storage projects in Uganda and the broader EAC Region.
