4 FAQs about Uganda wind power and solar energy storage development prospects

Why should Uganda invest in wind energy?

Apart from being an environmentally friendly and renewable energy resource, development of wind energy could boosts economic growth and creates jobs. For Uganda, rising energy demand, need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing electricity access to rural areas, emerge as rational opportunities to invest in wind energy.

Does Uganda have a peak electricity demand?

Uganda’s electricity system peak demand (Source: Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA), Uganda (2019)). Countries are not only increasingly integrating wind energy in their energy mix as a source of electricity supply, but more importantly, as an option to bridge the gap of the growing energy demand.

Does Uganda have a wind resource?

Pallabazzer and Sebbit (1998), the only empirical study on wind resources in Uganda, provides an output on wind energy potential and a territorial wind map for Uganda. However, the study was exclusively based on wind data from only 11 sites.

Is Uganda's wind energy potential commercially viable?

For Uganda, sparse and scanty empirical assessment reveals low wind speeds not exceeding 10 m/s (Pallabazzer and Sebbit, 1998). It is, thus, incomplete to conclude that Uganda’s wind energy potential is not commercially viable, with no comprehen- sive wind data assessment.
