Uganda Large Energy Storage

The project, owned and operated by AES Distributed Energy, consists of a 28 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) and a 100 MWh five-hour duration energy storage system. AES designed the unique DC-coupled solution, dubbed “the PV Peaker Plant,” to fully integrate PV and storage as a power plant. Such hybrid energy storage systems, with large capacity, fast charging/discharging, long lifetime, and low cost are currently being investigated for electric vehicles [136, 139]. Also, Yang et al. [138] describe the application of other energy storage candidates such as flywheels in automotive applications.

How can Uganda improve its energy system?

Expanding and modernising Uganda’s energy system is at the core of achieving these objectives, whether it be giving electricity to homes, schools and hospitals; supplying burgeoning industries with power and fuel; or enabling the transport of people and goods across the country and beyond.

Is bioenergy sustainable in Uganda?

Around 90% of Uganda’s energy needs are still met by solid bioenergy, given it is the only energy source available to many in rural areas. This is not sustainable, nor is it an option to fuel future growth in Uganda.

How does Uganda modernise its energy supply?

Uganda modernises its energy supply while meeting growing demand, pivoting from bioenergy as the primary source of energy supply to low-emissions power inputs in 2050. *Includes solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and nuclear. Note: PJ = petajoules.

Can energy systems deliver on Uganda's Vision for Economic Transformation?

Realising the energy systems needed to deliver on Uganda’s vision for economic transformation requires rigorous and detailed planning.

Does Uganda have a modern energy system?

Uganda’s current energy system has seen a range of modernisation efforts in recent years but remains underdeveloped. Nearly 90% of Uganda’s final energy consumption is still met by burning solid bioenergy, largely wood and charcoal. However, the use of modern fuels is ramping up, outpacing both economic and population growth. IEA. CC BY 4.0.

How will Uganda's energy system grow in 2040?

The power sector becomes the backbone of Uganda’s energy systems, with all growth met by low-emissions sources. Electricity rises to become the single largest source of energy consumed by 2040, growing to reach 56% of total final consumption by 2050.
