Get StartedThe new facility, inaugurated on 26 September 2024, boosts Uganda’s power generation capacity from 1400MW to 2000MW, a significant step toward meeting the country’s growing energy needs. The project, which began in 2016, has been a key component in Uganda’s efforts to ensure a stable power supply for both domestic and industrial use.
He says that subsequent projects like the 200 MW Kiira Hydropower Station (2003) and the 183.2 MW Isimba Hydropower Project (2019) have further boosted Uganda’s generation capacity. “The Karuma Hydropower Project is the latest and most ambitious step in our still ongoing energy evolution,” Museveni commented.
Karuma is now the country’s largest power installation and also stands as Africa’s largest underground power plant. It serves as a cornerstone of Uganda’s broader development agenda under the National Development Plan III, which sees energy as a key driver in transforming Uganda from a peasant economy to a prosperous nation by 2050.
President Yoweri Museveni has officially inaugurated the Karuma hydropower plant, Uganda’s largest power generation facility. Located on the Kyoga Nile River, about 270 kilometers north of Kampala, the plant has a capacity of 600MW, generated by six turbines.
As of the month of July 2024, Uganda’s total grid length was marked at 4,496.4 km, with 42 substations and a transformation capacity of 6,945.5 MVA. Karuma is now the country’s largest power installation and also stands as Africa’s largest underground power plant.
President Museveni traced Uganda’s hydropower journey back to the inauguration of the Owen Falls Dam in 1954, which laid the foundation for the country’s energy sector. He says that subsequent projects like the 200 MW Kiira Hydropower Station (2003) and the 183.2 MW Isimba Hydropower Project (2019) have further boosted Uganda’s generation capacity.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.

Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
