How Battery Energy Storage Systems Can Transform Uganda''s
Executive Summary: Powering Uganda''s Green Future with BESS Uganda, rich in renewable resources, faces significant energy challenges including widespread energy
A major boost to Uganda's energy capacity is now the Karuma Hydropower Station which commenced commercial operations on June 12, 2024, with an installed capacity of 600 MW. This development has further strengthened the country's energy supply to support its growing industrial and domestic needs.
Uganda has also developed several sub-sectoral policies to support this strategy, such as the 2008 National Oil and Gas Policy (currently under review), the 2007 Renewable Energy Policy, and the 2018 Electricity Connections Policy.
Uganda continues to experience rapid population and economic growth, driving a significant increase in its energy demand.

The construction site measures 52 hectares (130 acres). The design calls for a ground-mounted photo-voltaic solar power station with generation capacity of 24 megawatts. The power will be sold directly to the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) for integration in the national electricity grid. A 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) has been signed between the developers and UETCL to guide the sale and purchase of electricity between the two. Construct
