Contact Us4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Kampala new energy demonstration site”
Does Kampala have solar power?
This is plausible because Kampala has a 2000 MW hydropower potential and is located astride the equator with 5.1 kWh/m 2 /day of solar energy incident throughout the year.
Why did the demand for electricity and biomass increase in Kampala?
The demand for electricity and biomass increased because of augmented economic activity, the electrified Kampala metro, the rural electrification program, and increased heating in the residential, industrial, and commercial sectors as the population increases.
What should be done to reduce energy consumption in Kampala?
At a macro level, emphasis should be on lowering the primary supply energy, reducing the usage of woody biomass & imported petroleum, investing in low-carbon electricity generation, and, more importantly, setting up the Kampala metro to switch most road passengers to the railway sector for sustainability.
Does Kampala need an electrified Metro?
The analysis further indicates that most electricity would be consumed by the transportation sector, specifically the passenger railway category. This result suggests that Kampala needs an electrified Kampala metro to switch most of its road passengers to the railway for sustainability.
