Government has prioritized increasing Uganda’s energy production. It has liberalized the power sector and has a regulatory framework that encourages investment in renewable energy sources. Uganda has large renewable energy sources with a potential of 5,300 megawatts which have not been fully exploited.
Uganda is a large market for renewable energy for the approximately 30 million people who are not connected to the national electricity grid.
Opportunities exist in small hydro power projects, in transmission and in distribution.
Opportunities for investment also exist in the Oil & Gas sector.
