Get a quoteThe Report recognizes that for Uganda, achieving universal energy access is as important as achieving a 100% renewable energy production target. It also recognizes that to be sustainable, the renewable energy solutions presented must address poverty and other social needs as outlined in Agenda 2030 / Sustainable Development Goals.
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).
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.
Currently, biomass is the leading type of energy used in Uganda, constituting about 94% of the total energy consumed in the country (Okello, C., et al., 2013). Biomass is the major source of energy for rural industries, and its trade contributes to the rural economy in terms of employment, rural incomes and tax revenue [93–95].
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.
Uganda Government approved the Electricity Connections Policy 2018-2027 with the aim of scaling up clean energy access throughout the country, with a goal to achieve 60% access to electricity in Uganda.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
