The East African country of the Republic of Uganda has a population of around 43 million people (2021). Over the past few decades Uganda has experienced a population growth rate of around 3%, and by the end of the century could become one of the largest in the East African region in terms of population. Rapid urbanisation and development of infrastructure have resulted in a significant increase in energy demand. The Government of the Republic of Uganda identifies electricity as a form of modern energy to shift the country from a developing economy to an industrialized and largely urban society (Uganda Vision 2040). Uganda’s total installed power generating capacity is approximately 1268 MW(e) (December 2020), predominantly hydroelectricity (85%), with the remaining share covered by solar and thermal plants (oil and biomass). It is estimated that the demand for electricity is growing at an annual rate of 15% and will soon overtake the current total electricity supply capacity.
