6 FAQs about [Solar pv grid Uganda]

How many mini-grids are there in Uganda?

Uganda has 34 installed mini-grids that serve ap-proximately 20,000 households. That’s less than 1 percent of the 7.3 million households in the country. Solar and hydro make up the vast majority of proj-ects in Uganda – 40 percent and 34 percent re-spectively (Figure 100).

How much solar energy does Uganda have?

Given Uganda's total surface area of 236 040 km 2, and, on average, over 5 kWh/m 2/day global solar radiation on horizontal surface, Uganda has more than 400 000 TWh of solar energy potential, each year falling on its surface area.

Does Bugala Island have a solar mini-grid?

Already, Bugala Island has a 1.6MW solar hybrid mini-grid to serve its 30,000 inhabitants. Kalangala Infrastructure Ser-vices (KIS) operates the project under a public-pri-vate partnership with the Government of Uganda, the government-funded InfraCo Africa, and the pri-vate infrastructure developer EleQtra.

Who owns a mini-grid in Uganda?

In Uganda, utilities, private companies, communi-ties, or some combination of the three operate mini-grids. Generally, a private-sector player develops and operates the mini-grid, owning the generating asset and bearing the cost of construction. Today, seven independent power producers (IPPs) operate -torial Power and Pamoja Energy.

How will a mini-grid interact with the central grid in Uganda?

There are no clear rules in Uganda for how a mini-grid is to interact with the central grid in the future when the main grid gets built out to where a mini-grid is located. However, developers recognize that the grid is unlikely ever to get connected to where they have been operating on Lake Victoria.

Who regulates mini-grids in Uganda?

UEDCL also runs a small number of mini-grids (Anton Eberhard, 2016). The Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) is the primary regulator of Uganda’s mini-grids. It admin-isters licence approval, sets tariffs and maintains technical standards. The REA has no direct regu-latory authority over mini-grids, but ERA consults Source: BloombergNEF.
