Overview Indicator Data Population 2.62 million (2015) Population density 3.2 persons/km2 i Global Tracking Framework Indicators ii Access to electricity 56.48% (70.68% urban, 37.52% rural) Access to improved cooking 62.52% RE as proportion of the mix 29.17% (of which 29.16% is traditional biomass) Other Indicators Reliance on energy imports (2014) (IEA) 43% of total final energy supply (48% of total final electricity consumption) Centralised or liberalised electricity sector Centralised Bundled generation, transmission and distribution? Yes Existence of renewable energy IPPs Yes Import duties on renewable energy products Yes (although machinery for manufacturing is duty free) RAGA/ AA/ IP RAGA – Not publicly available Renewable energy strategy Not publicly available Number of EEP Phase I & II projects 10 Total EEP contribution (% of total budget) 39% Average daily solar irradiance iii 6,640 Wh/m2/day Electricity subsidies Yes Fuel subsidies Kerosene partly subsidised iv Botswana has an extensive coal deposits estimated to provide approximately 212 billion tonnes (7.1 million tonnes of measured reserves), up to 630,000 tonnes of which are used annually to produce electricity.v Woody biomass makes up 38% of total final energy consumption, of which rural households consume an estimated 25.7%.vi The elec- tricity imports to Botswana from the South African Power Pool have reduced significantly (by 63%) between 2008 and 2011. However, load shedding reportedly continues to be necessary. The expansion of the capacity of the coal fired power station at Morupule B to meet overall current demand (capacity of 732 MW) was intended to resolve power shortages but since its commissioning in 2012 technical difficulties have interrupted supply, and it was sub- sequently put up for sale. The Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) declared a loss of US$ 180 million for 2015-16.vii Morupule A was to be refurbished but this has been delayed. Current generation capacity is 415 MW, including two diesel back-up power plants. BPC has now launched a bid for 100 MW concentrated solar power plant to attempt to make up the power deficit. Danish Energy Management & Esbensen – August 2017 4 Botswana EEP S&EA Energy Market Landscape Study The Rural Electrification Scheme increased rural connections dramatically from 4% in 1996 to 57% in 2011. The government has now introduced a standard cost for connection to increase the affordability of establishing a grid connection for poorer households.viii 2. Institutional framework Institutional structure The Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources (MMEWR) (being renamed to Ministry of Minerals, Green Technology and Energy Security (MMGE)) is responsible for providing the strategic direction for the energy sector in Botswana. The Department of Energy has the mandate for establishing the policy, legal and regulatory framework for the supply and demand-side management of energy in the country. The Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA) is an independent body that is mandated to oversee the economic sustainability of energy supply, setting tariff regulations and overseeing efficiency of supply. However, the government also provides guidance on their ob- jectives in terms of energy provision and subsidy levels. The intention is to establish a Botswana Renewable Energy Agency (BREA) that can promote and coordinate the uptake of renewable energy in the country.

BPC Lesedi (Pty) Ltd was established in 2008 to develop renewable energy generation and specifically renewable rural electrification. It is not clear how the mandate differs from BREA. The Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism (MEWT) focuses on climate change issues and has recently published Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) (2016). Policy framework The National Development Plan (NDP) 10 places an emphasis on self-sufficiency rather than the least-cost solu- tion. The National Energy Policy (2015) takes this ambition further by aiming to become a net exporter of energy. However, based on recent challenges in expanding the generation capacity of Morupule B, this may take some time to realise. The intention of the NDP is to establish a cost-reflective tariff, and steps are being taken to achieve this. There is no indication that unbundling the transmission and distribution of energy is likely. The NDP 11 (2017-2023) promotes specific renewable

  • Electric Mobility in Uganda: Are We Ready? MARCH 2021
    Electric Mobility In Uganda: Are We Ready? MARCH 2021 This paper provides a snapshot of electric mobility developments in Uganda, East Africa, while illustrating potential benefits of a sustainable electric mobility system, through examples from cities around the world. 1 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the support of World Resources Institute (WRI), Shell Foundation and UK aid funded Cities and Infrastructure for Growth (CIG) Uganda. Each organization contributed to primary and secondary research, authorship and editing of this research document; a collaboration intended to further advance development of electric mobility in Uganda, as a means to making transportation more sustainable for cities. WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE WRI is a global research organisation that spans more than 60 countries, with offices in Brazil, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, and regional offices in Ethiopia (for Africa) and the Netherlands (for Europe). Our more than 1,100 experts and staff turn big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity and human well-being. The foundation of our work is delivering high-quality research, data and analysis to solve the world’s greatest environment and development challenges and improve people’s lives. Working with, for and in Africa has been an important part of WRI’s history, beginning in the forests of the Congo Basin in the early 2000s. Since then, we have grown our reach on the continent and expanded from forests to address additional pressing issues, including cities and transport. We support cities and governments to improve public transport, road safety, sustainable mobility planning for walking and cycling.

    INVESTMENT ABSTRACT 2013/14 INVESTMENT ABSTRACT Fiscal Year 2013/2014 August 2014 Page 1 of 68 INVESTMENT ABSTRACT 2013/14 Preface by the Minister of State for Finance, Planning and Economic Development (Investments) The last fiscal year, 2013/14, has once again seen Uganda making her mark as an attractive investment location, with 83 percent increase in the number of licensed projects from 2012/13. For the third year running the report reveals a growing trend in planned investment values. More projects became operational although actual investment values slowed down this Fiscal year. The FY saw a rapid growth of Ugandan projects, an indication of the emerging middle class seeking to usurp emerging investment opportunities. More targeted efforts are being directed towards Diaspora investments in the next five years. Both FDI and joint venture projects also grew during this Fiscal Year. Uganda is currently the second most attractive FDI recipient in the EAC region and the prospects for 2014 look bright with more investments expected in the Construction, Manufacturing and; Mining. In 2013/14 there were some major activities carried out in the Kampala Industrial and Business Park Namanve. These included commissioning of Roofings Steel Rolling Mills, Victoria Seeds and the arrival of Three Ways Shipping a logistics company. Several other companies are at various stages of construction and are expected to commence operation in 2014/15. Government’s support for the private sector will continue and remains priority. More efforts will be directed at strengthening UIA as a one stop centre and streamlining various government licensing processes by creating a virtual one stop centre at the UIA.
