Battery capacity refers to the amount of energy a battery can store and is typically measured in ampere-hours (Ah) or watt-hours (Wh). Energy storage capacity is the total amount of energy that can be discharged before the battery needs recharging, which is crucial for applications like renewable energy systems. A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) allows for the collection and discharge of energy, helping to balance supply and demand in the grid23. [pdf]

Uganda has a total primary energy consumption of 0.0593 quadrillion Btu which equals 14.94 Mio. tons of oil equivalent (2012). Biomass is still the most important source of energy for the majority of the Ugandan population. About 90% of the total primary energy consumption is generated. .
Wood fuels are largely used for cooking in rural areas while charcoal mostly provides for the cooking needs of the urban population. High demand for wood fuels used inefficiently results in overuse and depletion of forests.. In 2012, 14.1% of Uganda’s land area. .
The Ugandan grid is split up into transmission (> 30 kV) and distribution (<= 30 kV). The transmission system losses are approximately less than 4 % and the distribution system losses were 38% in 2005, 26.1% in 2012 and 24,9% in June 2013. .
Uganda is richly endowed with abundant energy resources, which are fairly distributed throughout the country. These include hydropower, biomass, solar, geothermal, peat and. .
According to Power Africa, these two issues are the biggest to face Uganda's energy sector: 1. Lack of integrated power sector planning 2.. [pdf]
