Hon. Ruth Nankabirwa Launches the Isimba HPP Internal Performance Contract (IPC)
Overview
Uganda Electricity Generation Company Limited (UEGCL) has launched an Internal Performance Contract (IPC) for the 380MW Nalubaale-Kiira Power Station in Jinja City. The launch, officiated by Hon. Ruth Nankabirwa Ssentamu, Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, was witnessed by UEGCL’s Board, management, and staff.
The IPC is part of UEGCL’s 2023–2028 Strategic Plan and Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Business Model, designed to enhance operational efficiency, promote accountability, and optimize plant performance. Since assuming operations of the Nalubaale-Kiira complex in April 2023, UEGCL has applied the O&M model to drive autonomy, innovation, and cost-effective operations, following its successful rollout at Isimba HPP and Namanve TPP.
The launch also introduced The Projects Guidebook, which documents best practices for project management to ensure successful implementation. The initiative aligns with national development goals on public sector performance, accountability, and value for money, reinforcing UEGCL’s vision of becoming Africa’s leading electricity-generating utility.
