Solar Energy Uganda is endowed with favourable solar irradiation of 1,825 kWh/m2 to 2,500 kWh/m2 per year (See figure 4 below). In the recent past solar power has received increasing atention by investors as well as a promising potential for exploitation of geothermal energy.
Since then, the Uganda Power Sector Investment Plan 2015 has started implementation, which is expected to lead to larger increases of household electricity demand until 2030 in parallel with an implementation plan to achieve universal access to electricity for households until 2030.
Hence, there is a need to exploit all the available energy sources to increase energy access for all Ugandans, since the country has one of the lowest electrification rates in Africa, with a current access rate of 28% (Draft Energy policy, 2019).
The Uganda Solar Energy Association (USEA) is an in-dependent non-profit association dedicated to facili-tating the growth and development of the solar en-ergy business in Uganda.
Trend of Uganda''s Installed Capacity Over the last 5 years, Uganda''s installed capacity increased by 54% from 1,361.6 MW in 2021 to 2,098.2 MW by June 2025. This increase in generation capacity is
