This edition of UEGCL’s magazine highlights the commissioning of the Isimba Hydropower Station, which adds 183 MW to Uganda’s national grid, marking a major milestone in the country’s electricity generation capacity. The magazine also provides updates on the 600 MW Karuma Hydropower Project, currently over 95% complete, emphasizing UEGCL’s readiness to operate and maintain all ongoing and future projects.

With installed capacity nearing 1,200 MW while peak demand remains around 700 MW, the issue explores the strategic importance of surplus generation for a rapidly industrializing economy. Through insights from the Hon. Minister of Energy and Mineral Development and commentary on government policy, the magazine outlines UEGCL’s strategic direction, its commitment to delivering on national energy goals, and the company’s efforts to produce a self-sustaining, high-quality publication that informs, educates, and engages stakeholders.
