Located in Kapeeka, in the central Ugandan district of Nakaseke, the project will be developed by Energy America''s regional development subsidiary, EA Astrovolt. It will be equipped
The commissioning of the solar PV power plant is expected in Q3 2025. Once commissioned, it will be AMEA Power''s first operational asset in the country. It will generate
The company distributes and installs affordable, clean, solar energy products that impact the people at the bottom of the economic pyramid while simultaneously spurring local entrepreneurship in Uganda.
A Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) company has committed $19 million to a new 20MW solar PV project designed to provide clean, affordable energy for one of the most
Today, the 10MW solar plant is making a big contribution towards satisfying the energy needs of 36,000 people in the country''s Tororo region, a primarily rural economy located 240 kilometres east of
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. Construction started in August 2024 an
The design calls for a ground-mounted photo-voltaic solar power station with generation capacity of 24 megawatts. [1] The power will be sold directly to the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company
Uganda''s energy mix is largely dominated by hydroelectricity power (82%), followed by thermal power (8%), PV solar (5%) and Bagasse (5%).
Access Power-Soroti Solar PV Park is a ground-mounted solar project which is spread over an area of 33 acres. The project generates 16.2GWh electricity and supplies enough clean
Uganda has approved a major 100 MW solar project paired with a 250 MWh battery storage system—a landmark initiative for solar energy in Uganda. This ambitious project is designed
