18 Investment Opportunities in Energy and Agroprocessing
19 Overview of Uganda s Energy Sector 1. Uganda s energy mix comprises: biomass (92%), petroleum (6%) and electricity (2%) 2. Level of electrification is low with 5% of the population connected to the national grid. Less than 1% of the rural areas has access to thenational grid. About 88% of Uganda s population lives in the rural area. 3. Uganda receives hours of sunshine per year and a mean solar radiation of 5.1 Kwh per square metre per day on a horizontal surface, which provide viable potential for solar energy production 4. Fully liberalized energy regime where the private sector produces power and sells it to the national grid 7/11/2012 Uganda Investment Authority 19
20 Energy Large Hydropower Sites The large hydropower potential is mainly along the River Nile in Uganda and has been estimated at 2,000 MW. Only 380MW of the large capacity is currently exploited and this is at Jinja in the Kiira (200) and Nalubaale (180) Power stations. Source: 7/11/2012 Uganda Investment Authority 20
21 Medium Hydro Power Sites Site River Estimated Capacity (MW) Musizi Musizi 10 Bogoye Mubuku 7.5 Nengo Bridge Ntungu /11/2012 Uganda Investment Authority 21
22 Renewable Energy Investment Opportunities 1. The design, construction, sales and service support of biomass / solar / and mini hydro plants to generate electricity 2. Assembly and making of solar units 3. Manufacture and marketing of charcoal briquettes 4. Acquisition, installation and services of micro hydro power plants 5. Export opportunities exist in the Great Lakes Region and COMESA 6. Generation of power from garbage does not exist in Uganda yet there is an increasing population giving rise to increased amounts of garbage 7/11/2012 Uganda Investment Authority 22
23 Energy Export Market Potential Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Ltd (UETCL) has export contract obligations with neighbouring countries as follows: Kenya (30 MW), Tanzania (9 MW) and Rwanda (5 MW). However, the 30 MW to Kenya is supplied only during off-peak hours and only 9 MW and 5 MW exports go to Tanzania and Rwanda respectively. However, arrangements have been finalised for Uganda to export firm capacity of 50 MW to Kenya after the commissioning of the Bujagali Project. Uganda is also committed to supply 60MW to the Democratic Republic of Congo with enormous market potential in the South Sudan.
