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%.
