Dubai-based AMEA Power has secured a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for a 25MWp solar project in Uganda, marking its entry into the East African Community (EAC) market. This move sets the stage for potential expansion into wind and battery energy storage projects in Uganda and the broader EAC Region, furthering AMEA Power''s
The two main subcategories of solar hot water heaters are passive and active. Active Systems need circulating pumps to move water, whereas passive systems rely on gravity to do so. This is the main distinction between the two. Active systems may use antifreeze as a heat exchanger fluid and need electricity to operate.
Despite solar capacity of just 7% in the country, Uganda''s eight hours of sunshine per day represents huge potential for solar power''s development. Attracting investment is key. As part of efforts to scale up solar PV investment, the government of Uganda introduced model contracts in their investment guides.
At present, households in Uganda are generating solar energy largely for home consumption purposes such as lighting and charging phones, yet these households could harness solar PV energy
The 24 MWp Solar PV project is being implemented by Ituka West Nile Uganda Limited, a project company registered in Uganda and fully owned by AMEA Power. The project is located on a 52-hectare site in Ombachi village, Uleppi Subcounty, Madi Okollo District in the West Nile Sub-Region, around 450 km from Kampala.
