  • The Least Cost Generation Plan 2016
    THE LEAST COST GENERATION PLAN 2016 – 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the Authority developed a 5 year Least Cost Generation Plan (LCGP) that covered the period 2013 to 2018. An update of the LCGP has been undertaken covering a 10 year period of 2016 to 2025. The update involved review of the load forecast in light of changed parameters, commissioning dates for committed projects, costs of generation plants, transmission and distribution system investment requirements. In the update of the plan, similar to the Power Sector Investment Plan, prepared by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, the ”Econometric Demand” forecasting method was used at distribution level to forecast Commercial, Medium Industry and Large Industry customer category demand. A bottom up approach was used for Domestic customer category using the end-user method. A Base Case, Low Case and High Case scenario were developed for sensitivity analysis. The resultant demand forecast was 6.5%, 3.6% and 12% growth rate in energy demand for the Base Case, Low Case and High Case scenarios respectively. This growth rate is lower than the projection in the 2013 LCGP of 10%, 5% and 14% for Base Case, Low Case and High Case respectively. A number of energy supply options were considered including Hydro, Peat, Solar PV, Bagasse Cogeneration, Wind and Natural Gas. The planned supply considered already existing, committed and candidate generation plants/projects with their estimated commissioning dates aligned. We note that more than 80% of the generation will come from hydro. 1 In the demand supply balance, Figure E1 shows the demand and supply balance over the planning period.

  • Effect of Selected Insecticide on Whitefly
    Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development journal homepage: http://aessweb.com/journal-detail.php?id=5005 Improving Rural Livelihood through NERICA Farming: An Inquiry into Najja Sub-county in Central Uganda Dan Makosa and Nagatada Takayanagi Department of Agricultural Economics, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Sakuragaoka, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan Abstract New Rice for Africa (NERICA) was introduced in Uganda to help rural farmers in improving their livelihood in terms of income and food security. Using the livelihood impact analysis technique, this study sought to assess the role of NERICA in improving rural livelihood by (i) understanding the production environment (ii) exploring the marketing opportunities and challenges and (iii) highlighting the changes in livelihood outcomes. The findings indicate that upland varieties are cultivated mainly in lowland areas and rural farmers prefer early maturity attribute to high productivity. Milling places also double as selling points where buyers and sellers meet. Selling milled rice fetches more profits than paddy. The most popular asset purchased from NERICA proceeds is land. The main challenges to production and marketing are inadequate extension service and high transport costs respectively. Keywords: NERICA farming, Uganda, rural livelihood, rice marketing, livelihood impact analysis Introduction1 service reforms aimed at improving the livelihood of people in terms of income, Like in the rest of the developing world, food security and socio-economic status Ugandan farmer‟s livelihood remains in a (MAAIF, 2005). Promotion of NERICA miserable state. Agriculture, a main source (New Rice for Africa), which was first of livelihood, is subsistence characterized by developed by African Rice Center, is one of use of rudimentary tools, poor quality seeds, the initiatives adopted in this context.

  • Bujagali Final Report
    INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL COMPLIANCE REVIEW REPORT ON THE BUJAGALI HYDROPOWER AND INTERCONNECTION PROJECTS June 20, 2008 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The IRM Compliance Review Panel could not have undertaken and completed this report without the generous assistance of many people in Uganda and at the African Development Bank. It wishes to express its appreciation to all of them for their cooperation and support during the compliance review of the Bujagali Hydropower and Interconnection projects. The Panel thanks the Requesters and the many individuals from civil society and the communities that it met in the Project areas and in Kampala for their assistance. It also appreciates the willingness of the representatives of the Government of Uganda and the projects’ sponsors to meet with the Panel and provide it with information during its visit to Uganda. The Panel acknowledges all the help provided by the Resident Representative of the African Development Bank in Uganda and his staff and the willing cooperation it has received from the Bank’s Management and staff in Tunis. The Panel appreciates the generous cooperation of the World Bank Inspection Panel which conducted its own review of the “UGANDA: Private Power Generation Project”. The Compliance Review Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel coordinated their field investigations of the Bujagali projects and shared consultants and technical information during this investigation in order to enhance the efficiency and cost effectiveness of each of their investigations. While this collaboration between the Panel and the World Bank Inspection Panel worked to the mutual benefit of both parties, each Panel focused its compliance review on its own Bank’s policies and procedures and each Panel has made its own independent judgments about the compliance of its Management and staff with its Bank’s policies and procedures.

  • Bujagali Energy Limited Project Number
    BUJAGALI ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT SUMMARY Project Title: Bujagali Energy Limited Project Number: P-UG-FAB-008 Country: Uganda Department: Energy Financial Solutions, Policy & Regulation Division: Energy Financial Solutions Project Category: 1 1.0 Introduction Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL) is owned by SG Bujagali Holdings Ltd (an affiliate of Sithe Global Power LLC), Jubilee Insurance Company Ltd., as well as the Africa Power Platform PCC, which is owned by CDC (the UK’s Development Finance Institution), the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) and IPS Kenya (“the Sponsors”). Operations and Maintenance Energy (Uganda) Limited (O&ME) operates the Hydropower project. The Bujagali Project is a 250MW hydropower facility — developed through a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) model — on the Victoria Nile River near the town of Jinja. It reached financial close in 2007, eight years after Government of Uganda (GoU) liberalized its electricity sector in 1999. When commissioned in 2012, it did not only displace expensive emergency power generation, but also contributed towards paving the way for a handful of other smaller scale IPPs that will provide more than 200 MW of small hydro, solar, and bagasse power to the network by around 2020. However, to drive the country’s industrialization program, the GoU is actively looking for ways to reduce the country’s electricity tariffs. In this context, and based on the projected tariff profile, the Bujagali tariff is set to increase from 11.3 US cents/kWh in 2016 to 13.3 US cents/kWh in 2018 and to 14.7 US cents by 2023 due to end of a tax ‘holiday’ (accelerated depreciation) and the debt amortization — before decreasing to 7 US cents/kWh from 2024.
