Raising Fish Production in Uganda Through Renewable Energy

Uganda has the 7th highest inland fishery production in the world: the sector supports the livelihoods of over 5.3 million Ugandans and provides direct employment to over 1.2 million people. However, there is significant potential to increase the industry''s productivity. The sector faces 10-20% post-harvest losses on average, mostly because of inadequate access to cold []

Promoting renewable energy and improving energy efficiency in Uganda

Uganda is rich with biomass, water, solar, geothermal and wind energy resources. However, due to inefficient use, much of this potential is wasted. This leaves many people without access to electricity and clean energy for cooking, especially in the northern region, which hinders local economic development through productive use of energy and

Decentralized energy supply with renewable energies in Uganda

Currently, there is a considerable need for renewable energy technologies in Uganda. Uganda''s electrification rate is 28%. In 2018, it was estimated that 6.5 million households had no electricity connection. The integration of electricity from intermittent renewable energy sources requires the use of energy storage and a smart grid approach.
