Scales of accountability: Solar mini-grids and clean energy for all in

Like several African countries, Uganda is a context with low access to clean energy, with peak electricity demand of approximately 850 megawatt (MW) for a population of about 50 million, and grid capacity of about 1.2 gigawatt (GW), thus exceeding peak demand. Most of this electricity (about 85 % most years) is sourced from hydropower, but as of 2021

Protection of Microgrids

The concept of microgrids goes back to the early years of the electricity industry although the systems then were not formally called microgrids. Today, two types of microgrids can be seen: independent and grid connected. The protection requirement of these two types differs as the protection needs of an independent microgrid are intended for protecting

Minigrid Projects to Significantly Expand Access

Minigrids, sometimes referred to as remote microgrids or metrogrids, are typically constructed in remote areas that do not have access to a central grid. Minigrid systems use software to control distributed energy resources like solar panels and battery storage, providing remote communities with reliable, clean and affordable power.

6 FAQs about [Uganda microgrid شرح]

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).

How will a mini-grid interact with the central grid in Uganda?

There are no clear rules in Uganda for how a mini-grid is to interact with the central grid in the future when the main grid gets built out to where a mini-grid is located. However, developers recognize that the grid is unlikely ever to get connected to where they have been operating on Lake Victoria.

What is a microgrid in India?

In India, a microgrid was first pioneered in the 1990s by the West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency (WBREDA) when it installed a 25KWp solar PV system in the Sundarban delta region. Subsequently, the Chhattisgarh Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) initiated a solar plant in the Bilaspur district.

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 mature is Uganda's renewable-hybrid mini-grid market?

Uganda’s renewable-hybrid mini-grid market is less mature than those in neighboring Kenya and Tanzania both in terms of the number of projects completed and the number of players operating. Uganda has 34 installed mini-grids that serve ap-proximately 20,000 households.

Who regulates mini-grids in Uganda?

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.
