  • 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.

  • 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.

  • UNSETTLING BUSINESS Social Consequences of the Bujagali Hydropower Project
    UNSETTLING BUSINESS Social consequences of the Bujagali hydropower project 1 Summary The Bujagali hydropower dam on The River Nile in Uganda was fi nally commis- sioned in August 2012 after eighteen years of controversy that delayed the dam con- struction. The dam faced numerous economic, environmental, social and spiritual challenges that stalled the dam construction while the project underwent investigations over bribery claims and project reviews on the dam design and capacity. The dam cost kept on growing from $580 million at inception to $860 million and fi nally $902 million ($3.6million per MW) at completion. Independent investigations by the Ugan- dan Parliamentary adhoc committee on energy put the dam’s actual cost at $1.3 billion ($5.2million per MW or more). The dam project was marketed by The Government of Uganda and the World Bank as the least-cost project. Two different hydropower companies - AES Nile Power and Bujagali Energy Limited – feature in the development of the Bujagali hydropower dam in Uganda. The project was undertaken as a Public Private Partnership between the Government of Uganda and International Financial Corporation (IFCs), the World Bank Group, European Investment Bank, African Development Bank in collaboration with dam construction companies- Industrial Promotions Services (IPS), a holding company of the Aga Khan and Sithe Global Power. The project partners, IPS, Sithe Global Power and the government set up a new company- Bujagali Energy Ltd (BEL) to operate and run the project. The Bujagali hydropower dam development was marred with controversies that saw the dam take over 18 years to complete. The dam project was investigated four times, twice by the Inspection Panel of The World Bank, by The African Development Bank’s Independent Review Mechanism (IRM), and by The European Investment Bank’s Compliance Review.

  • Uganda: Brave Reforms and New Growth
    UGANDA: BRAVE REFORMS AND NEW GROWTH Chapter 3 Uganda: brave reforms and new growth For decades Uganda has suffered from inadequate power supply. A disruptive civil war (from 1971 to 1986) and decreasing water levels in Lake Victoria, the main reservoir for the country’s hydro dominated electric power system, exacerbated this problem and led to a 60 per cent decrease in the country’s available generating capacity. It is therefore not surprising that as at 2009, overall access to electricity in Uganda was a low 11 per cent (41% urban, 4% rural),1 resulting in one of the lowest per capita electricity consumption rates in Africa. Another feature of the supply crisis is the high level of distribution losses which were measured at 40 per cent in 1988, and has remained above 30 per cent ever since. To deal with the crisis, the government in 1999 embarked upon the most extensive power-sector reform programme ever witnessed on the African continent. The state-owned and vertically integrated Uganda Electricity Board (UEB) was unbundled, and generation and distribution were subsequently privatised through 20-year concession agreements. An independent regulator, the Electricity Regulatory Authority, was established, together with the Electricity Disputes Tribunal and the Rural Electrification Fund. In the meantime, the country’s main hydropower station was rehabilitated, and an additional one was built nearby, bringing installed capacity to 380MW. Overall productivity increased with a leaner and more professional workforce. With generation liberalised, negotiations for the development of the first independent power producer (IPP), the 250MW Bujagali hydroproject, began. Financial closure on the Bujagali Project proved elusive however, and the negotiations became lengthy and controversial.
