4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Uganda microgrid economics"
Why is the mini-grid market so slow in Uganda?
Despite the opportunity for further mini-grid de-velopment in Uganda, the market has been slow to take off, largely due to a fragmented regulatory envi-ronment. Among other issues, the country's current policies fail to explicitly set an energy access target to be met through mini-grids.
Who owns a mini-grid in Uganda?
In Uganda, utilities, private companies, communi-ties, or some combination of the three operate mini-grids. Generally, a private-sector player develops and operates the mini-grid, owning the generating asset and bearing the cost of construction. Today, seven independent power producers (IPPs) operate -torial Power and Pamoja Energy.
How many mini-grids are there in Uganda?
Uganda has 34 installed mini-grids that serve ap-proximately 20,000 households. That's less than 1 percent of the 7.3 million households in the country. Solar and hydro make up the vast majority of proj-ects in Uganda – 40 percent and 34 percent re-spectively (Figure 100).
Who regulates mini-grids in Uganda?
UEDCL also runs a small number of mini-grids (Anton Eberhard, 2016). The Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) is the primary regulator of Uganda's mini-grids. It admin-isters licence approval, sets tariffs and maintains technical standards. The REA has no direct regu-latory authority over mini-grids, but ERA consults Source: BloombergNEF.
