How often do you experience load shedding in your region?
BACKGROUND
In
addition to Nalubaale power station, in 2002, the Uganda government
commissioned the 250MW Bujagali Hydro Power dam. This gave Ugandans a sigh of
relief as load shedding used to be widespread.
According
to the Electricity Regulatory Authority, other power plants have been developed
such as Mpanga Hydro Power Dam, Ishasha Mini Hydro Power Dam and Bugoye Hydro
power dam. The Karuma Hydro Power Dam is also in the works as the government of
Uganda has issued several permits to different
projects that will ease the increasing power demand in the country.
Before
this, limited power generation in the country had affected economic
competitiveness as manufacturers and traders incurred high costs of operation using
generators which are expensive to operate and maintain.
Thankfully,
the Uganda government is currently exploring other sources of power given that
the demand for electricity is growing at a high rate of between 10 - 12%.
