The UEGCL Board conducted an inspection of the 600MW Karuma Hydropower Project (HPP) on 1st April 2022, noting that the project was 99% complete and on track for commissioning later that year. Once operational, Karuma HPP will add 600MW to Uganda’s national grid, significantly increasing the country’s electricity capacity.

The board also reviewed Phase I of the Community Development Action Program (CDAP) at three primary schools, which was 93% complete, underscoring UEGCL’s commitment to supporting communities alongside national energy development. These initiatives contribute to UEGCL’s “Roadmap 1300” goal of delivering 1,300MW by 2023.
