ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 iv The peoples electricity link Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development FOREWORD
I am pleased to introduce the 2011/12 Annual Rural Electrification Report in accordance with the requirements of Section 64(2) of the Electricity Act (1999). The Government, through its rural electrification programme, has a goal of increasing the Rural Electrification coverage from 1% in 2001 to 10% by 2012 as spelt in its Rural Electrification Strategy and Plan (RESP) (2001). This report covers activities undertaken by the Government of Uganda, its development partners and the private sector Hon. Eng. Irene Muloni (MP) in implementing the rural electrification programme. Minister for Energy and The report also highlights the social intermediation, Mineral Development environmental issues, way leaves issues, capacity building activities and the financial performance of the Agency. Through Private Public Partnerships (PPP), the Government has endeavored to promote renewable energy technologies including the development of Mini hydropower plants, cogeneration facilities and solar energy utilization. So far, one of the main constraints to the programme is the current inadequate supply onto the main electricity grid. It is hoped that the construction of the 250MW Bujagali, 700MW at Karuma, 18MW in Mpanga, Kamwenge, 6MW in Isasha and 3.5 in Nyagak will go along way towards Hon. Eng. Simon D’Ujanga reducing the load shedding experienced in the country Minister of State for Energy at the moment and boosting the new rural electrification networks being added on the grid. The programme continues to progress with support from development partners including; the World Bank, the Royal Nowergian Government and the Japanese Government. New players on board include the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) and the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) and I am sincerely grateful to them. I would like to thank His Excellency the President and Hon. Peter Lokeris my Colleagues in Cabinet, Parliament and Local District Minister of State for Mineral Development Authorities for the continued guidance and support they have provided to scale up electricity access. I particularly want to thank my Colleagues; the Ministers of State in the Ministry, the Permanent Secretary / Chairman of the Rural Electrification Board and members of the Rural Electrification Board (REB), the Executive Director and members of staff of the Rural Electrification Agency. Their hard work and dedication is enabling Government draw closer to achieving its goal of providing electricity in an equitable manner for socio- economic rural transformation. For God and My Country
ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 The peoples electricity link v Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Annual Rural Electrification Report 2011/12 provides the status of the progress and milestones of the rural electrification plan as of June 2012. The report underscores the operational and financial performance of the Rural Electrification Programme in line with its Short and Medium term Plans that were set to meet the set goals. The report also highlights the institutional capacity building programme, the implementation constraints, mitigation measures and lessons learnt in the process of implementing the targets set in the Rural Electrification Strategy and Plan (RESP) (2001).
A new RESP was finalized this financial year with consultancy backing from the national Rural Electric Cooperation Association (NRECA) International Ltd and support from the World bank under ERT programme. The main goal of the RESP is to raise the rural electrification rate to 22% from its current rate. The new RESP (2012-2021) will be used as a trajectory of achieving the Universal Electrification Access by 2040, taking into account lessons learnt during the 2001-2012 implemetation period. The focus in this RESP will be Public Financing as opposed to the previous one that focused on Public Private Ptnerships. Additionally, the new RESP introduces thirteen (13) commercially viable servive territories.
In line with the country's electrification vision and goals as spelt out in its strategic documents including the National Development Plan (NDP) (2010) and the Rural Electrification Strategy and Plan (RESP) (2001), the programme has made tremendous progress with electricity coverage and access having a cumulative increase from 1%, when the programme started in 2003 to 7%, while the overall national electricity access is at 12%.
This period witnessed increased consumer connections especially in the districts of Bundibugyo, ntoroko, Pader, Agago and Abim, mostly as a result of the operations electricity cooperatives including Bundibugyo Electricity Cooperative Society (BECS) and Pader- Abim Community Multi-purpose Cooperative Society (PACMECS). The PVTMA solar programme has also enabled the Agency reach out to a wider population, especially those far off from the main grid. To date over 3.000 consumers have ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 vi The peoples electricity link Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development been connected to a solar energy system. This programme is implemeneted in partnership with four (4) financial institutions, 100 SACCOs and 24 prequalified solar companies.
Several grid extension projects were progressed focusing on connection of district headquarters, supporting major agro-processing industries, other economic activities like trading centres and social services including health centres, educational institutions and water supply. Small schemes in the form of spurs on the Umeme network, and intensification within the Umeme footprint were constructed.
Government is looking at other avenues to finance the programme. During the FY 2011/12, several Development Partners supported the programme including; the Government of the Royal Norwegian, the African Development Bank, the Organisation of Islamic Countries (e.g. Kuwait Fund, the Saudi Fund for Development, and the Arab Bank for Economic Development of Africa). Further support came from the World Bank under ERT II, the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA II) and support from the local financing through the Consolidated Fund and the Transmission Levy.
The Government continues to encourage private sector participation in the energy sector through the development and promotion of renewable energy projects including; Kinyara (bagasse) cogeneration project, Bugoye mini-hydro (13 MW), Mpanga mini-hydro (18 MW), Buseruka mini-hydro (9MW), Ishasha mini-hydro (6.5 MW), Kikagati mini-hydro (10 MW) and the solar Photo-Voltaic.
The key challenges affecting the rural electrification programme include low level private sector investment, way leaves acquisition and compensation for the lines, inadequate power supply on the main grid majorly due to limited installed capacity and high consumer tariffs which affects connection rates.

Four new service territories (North Eastern, Lira, Gulu and Mbarara) with ongoing projects are being progressed for operators under management contracts in the interim for a period of three years. UEDCL has been earmarked to provide the management services and we have communicated to PPDA to allow us do a direct procurement for UEDCL.
2.4.4 Key challenges:
Increased bulk supply tariff (59%) for energy to the concession holders without a corresponding increase in the end user tariff.
Increasing infrastructure maintenance costs as assets like poles require replacement earlier than anticipated and the subsidised connection materials are now exhausted.
2.5 Solar Photovoltaic targeted Market Approach (PVTMA)
With support from the World Bank under ERT II, implemenetation of the solar PV Targeted Market Approach (PVTMA) continued with the provision of consumer subsidies and the promotion of consumer credit for both domestic and institutional/commercial solar systems that are located out of denser settlements where loads cannot be economically aggregated for larger grid projects. This programmes is meant to help spread the upfront cost of solar PV which is a main constraint to acquiring solar PV. The subsidy covers USD 5.5/Watt peak on installed solar home systems of up to 50WP including solar lanterns and USD 4.0 / Watt peak up to 500WP for commercial and institutional systems.
The program is implemented through various approved models which include Regulated Financial Institutions (PFI's) Pay plan, Fee for service as well as Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCO's).
Upon verification of solar PV installations for compliance to set standards through the end user audit and verification by an independent audit firm, the subsidy is channeled to end-users through the financial institutions . Currently Four regulated financial institutions, over 100 SACCO's and 24 solar companies are participating in the program. The PFI's include Post Bank Uganda, FINCA Uganda, Centenary Bank Limited and Opportunity Bank Uganda. A total of 3,664 solar Home systems and Institutional /commercial systems have been installed in various rural areas.
In addition, REA is facilitating awareness creation and marketing of solar PV loans as well as building the technical capacity of PFIs to handle solar PV technology. REA in collaboration with participating PFI's and MSC, conducted regional workshops targeting PFI, SACCOs staff as well as marketing support through radio campaigns and printing brochures.

3.2 Environmental issues
REA is involved in and promotes the implementation of mainly, Renewable Energy Projects (Clean Energy), namely Hydropower Dams (Small, Mini, Micro), Power Lines, Solar PV Systems. Rural Electrification projects have environmental and social aspects that are identified through environmental and social impacts assessments and accordingly addressed by implementing the proposed mitigation measures, in line with Environmental and Social Safeguard Policies of the Government of Uganda and/or the Development Partners.
At the beginning of FY 2011/2012, REA recruited an Environmental Specialist to handle Environmental and Social aspects of the Rural Electrification projects. His main duty is to Coordinate environmental and social impact studies of the Rural Electrification Projects and ensure compliance with the GoU/National (NEMA) and donor environmental/social requirements and safeguard policies respectively.
REA's Environmental and Social Management Framework requires Monitoring of the Agency's projects in order to ascertain compliance with Environmental and Social Safeguard Policies of GoU and the funding partners in order to assess the implementation of the Environmental and Social aspects, with a view of recommending appropriate remedial measures to guide project implementation. In order to realize the above-stated obligation, REA has developed Environmental Monitoring Plans and/or Frameworks, aimed at guiding the implementation, monitoring and reporting of Environmental and Social aspects of all RE projects.

ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 24 The peoples electricity link Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development 5.0 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR 2011/2012
The Rural Electrification Fund was set up following the enactment of the Electricity Act 1999. Pursuant to Section 65 (1) and (4) of the Act, the Statutory Instrument 2001 No. 75 that provided for establishment of the Rural Electrification Board to oversee management of the fund was issued. Under the same instrument, the Rural Electrification Agency was also established as a Secretariat of the Board among other functions.
The monies of the fund consist of money appropriated by Parliament, any surplus moneys made from operations of the Electricity Regulatory Authority, a levy of 5% on transmission bulk purchase of electricity from generation stations and donations, gifts, grants and loans acceptable to the Minister responsible for finance.
During the financial year under review, the fund received monies from World Bank (GEF and IDA), Government of Uganda through treasury releases and the levy on transmission bulk purchases. A summary of the Agency's financial performance is reflected in the tables below showing receipts and application of the funds.

ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 26 The peoples electricity link Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development 6.0 PROJECT IMPLEMENTTAION PLANS FOR 2012/13
In the Financial Year 2011/2012, the following projects were planned for:
6.1 Community Schemes (Government of Uganda Financing)
During the period of July 2011 to June 2012, the Agency successfully packaged twenty eight (28) community-initiated schemes (worth Uganda Shillings 3,493,565,590/- only) within the UMEME footprint (shown in Annex V) where the respective beneficiary communities contributed at-least 30% of the associated Low Voltage network costs.
The overall project scopes comprised construction of over 29 km of High Voltage lines and 38 km of LV network in various districts of the Country.
Annex VI shows UMEME schemes (worth UGX19,461,635,559/- only) awaiting cost- sharing financing.
In addition to the above, Annex VII shows schemes outside the UMEME footprint (worth UGX81,238,962,754/- only) for which the Agency carried out preliminary power line surveys covering over 794 km of High Voltage lines and 317 km of associated LV reticulations. The schemes are ready for implementation as soon as funding is available.
6.2 JICA III Grid-extension projects
Following the successful implementation of JICA II grant-financed grid-extensions (i.e. Kagadi-Munteme, Masaka-Bukakata, Nabitende-Itanda and Iwemba-Bugeso), JICA engaged Yachiyo Engineering Co. Ltd to appraise the following Phase III proposals:
· Mayuge – Lumino · Kitagata – Kasana & Kitagata-Kabwohe · Bikira – Masaka & Masaka - Nyabyajjwe · Baale - Galiraya · Kiganda - Mubende · Hoima – Mbaraara - Kinyara
Working closely with REA, the JICA consultant ranked Mayuge – Lumino as the most feasible project in accordance to the Appraisal Report dated March 2012 where JICA expressed interest in funding the 33 kV grid-extension line and the Government of Uganda will be required to finance LV reticulation network costs including payment of way-leaves compensation and all associated URA tax obligations.
In view of the above, the Agency finalised the LV network designs and obtained the Certificate of Approval of Environmental Impact Assessment from NEMA for the whole project scope comprising of approximately 134.4 km of 33 kV network, 64 km of LV and installation of 50 distribution substations.
ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 The peoples electricity link 27 Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development The project will be ready for implementation as soon as a financing agreement between the Governments of Uganda and Japan is signed.
6.3 BADEA Grand Financing
The Government of Uganda received a Grant (worth US$400,000.00) from the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) towards the cost of technical assistance to finance feasibility studies for grid-extensions in the following five areas:
Baale - Galiraya with tee-offs Kayonza – Kawololokato – Namizo, Kitwe – Kafumba, Kasokwe – Gwero, Kyna – Buyobe-Kawuku, Kitimbwa – Nkonkonjeru-Nakivubo, Kyerima-Namabuga, Nakyesa-Kakiri-Namanoga, Kyanya – Busale-Nongo, Nabuganyi- Mutukula-Namusala-Lusenke, Nabuganyi-Bukolwa, Busaana, Busaana-Namirembe, Kanjuki-Buwumbiro and Sente Anyize-Bukasa. (150 km of HV network)
Nabirumba - Bugaya - Kitukiro - Buyende and Environs (160 km of HV network)
Bikira – Namirembe & Masaka – Nyabyajjwe (95 km of HV)
Katobo - Rwenshama via Bwambara and tee-offs to Kishenyi, Bubangizi-Kanyabwanaga, Kigongi, Rwenpungu, Kisiizi, Kashasha, Ndere, Rwenshaka and Kashenyi including Kitagata-Kasaana & Kitagata – Kabwohe (180 km)
Gulu - Olwiyo – Pachwach with tee-off Gulu – KochGoma, Spur Agong, Spur Wii-Anoka and Spur Alelele Lira (110 km)
In accordance with the Letter of Understanding signed between GOU and BADEA on 23 October, 2011, REA was obliged to procure consultancy services to undertake the engineering designs and environmental assessment in line with BADEA procurement guidelines. Consequently, by the end of Financial Year 2011/12, REA had submitted a short-list of consultants for BADEA no-objection.
6.4 Uganda Accelerated Rural Electrification Project (World Bank Financing)
The Agency worked closely with National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) International Ltd, a consultancy firm that was contracted by the World Bank under the Energy for Rural Transformation, to prepare the new Rural Electrification Strategy and Plan (RESP) for the period 2012 – 2021.
Once approved, the RESP will be the new Government Policy whose specific goal is to raise the rural electricity penetration rate from under 3% in 2011 to 22% by the end of the ten-year period in 2021. Also, the RESP will be used as a trajectory of achieving universal electrification access by 2040 taking into account a number of important lesson learnt during the period 2001 – 2010.
The principal difference between the old RESP (2001 – 2010) and the new RESP (2012 – 2021) is that the new policy document will focus mainly on implementing rural electrification projects using Public Financing as opposed to Public Private Partnerships used earlier. ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 28 The peoples electricity link Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Furthermore, the new RESP (2012 – 2021) has introduced the Service Territory Concept whereby the rural electrification sector is to be divided into thirteen (13) commercially viable electricity distribution service areas. Each area will have a ten-year business plan with given financial resources and connection targets towards achieving an overall 22% electrification rate by 2021. A map of the proposed rural service territories is given in Annex IV.
Following a number of stakeholder consultative meetings, the draft final RESP (2012 – 2021) was finalised in May 2012 and consequently submitted for cabinet approval in June 2012.
6.5 Procurement of Bukakata-Kalangala Interconnection (Government of Uganda Financing)
During the Financial Year 2011/12, the Agency initiated the procurement of consultancy services to undertake Engineering Design and Environmental Assessment for the construction of a 33 kV sub-sea cable to inter-connect Kalangala Island mini-grid to the National Grid. It is expected that the design will be completed by April 2013.
6.6 Procurement of Feasibility Studies of New Service Territories (Government of Uganda Financing)
In line with the emerging RESP (2012 – 2021), the Agency initiated the procurement of consultancy services to undertake feasibility studies in the proposed Service Territory areas. The studies will be ready by June 2013 and accordingly packaged for implementation during the Financial Year 2013/14.
6.7 Engineering Designs for the Proposed Government of Norway Phase III Financing
In line with the existing five-year framework financing agreement between the Governments of Uganda and Norway, the Agency packaged a proposal worth USD21.2 million seeking construction funds to implement the following grid-extension projects:
· Ruhumba – Kashwa with tee-off Rwebishuri (113 km of 33 kV lines) · Kibaale – Kikalu, Namalemba – Nakalama and Namutumba – Mazuba (81 km of 33 kV lines)
· Kaliro – Nawaikoke – Iyingo Landing site with tee-off Saka Bridge (132 km of 33 kV lines)
· Kiganda – Mile 16 with tee-offs Katabalanga and Kibyamirizi (117 km of 33 kV lines)
The proposal was submitted to the Norwegian Embassy (Kampala Office) for review and approval in June 2012.

7.0 IMPLEMENTTAION CONSTRAINSTS AND PRPOSED SOLUTIONS
ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 30 The peoples electricity link Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development 7.0 IMPLEMENTTAION CONSTRAINSTS AND PRPOSED SOLUTIONS
Rural electrification is impacted on by social and political issues. One aspect is the local community-level problems associated with the right of way for electricity lines as they traverse the countryside. The other aspect is the politics surrounding electricity, whereby political leaders want their constituencies prioritized for service, thus exerting undue pressure on the responsible institutions in spite of the limited resources. These issues form the basis of the issues which have been encountered during the period of reporting as highlighted below;
7.1 Constraints
7.1.1 Limited Government Budget
Appropriations from the Consolidated Fund have been inadequate and inconsistent. It is instructive that adequate funds be committed from the Consolidated Fund to support the Rural Electrification Programme so as to give confidence to development partners about Government's seriousness about rural electrification and also take care of ongoing pressures for electricity services all over the country. Otherwise, the ambitious targets we have set will never be met.
7.1.2 Issues of way leaves and compensation
While it is expected that private rights should give way on occasion to the wider public interest, it is not always the case. REA continues to experience resistance from some communities on the issue to the extent of blocking construction works. Some sections of the public tend to view rural electrification schemes as a way to make quick gains especially when asked to consent to routing power lines through their land. They often make exorbitant claims for compensation in total disregard of approved district compensation, as a result some projects have been held up while the Agency and Local
7.1.3 Authorities try to negotiate for way leaves.
The biggest source of conflict is the fact that most people affected expect and demand for upfront payment before commencement of the project. However, the compensation process is rather lengthy due to the fact that REA has to adhere to acceptable Government procedures which involve claim verification and clearances by institutions outside the Agency including the Government Valuer and Auditor General. It is important to note that as a rule, Government has to compensate those individuals whose property (crops, plantations, buildings, etc) has been affected. However an increased compensation bill directly affects the Agency's role out programme since money is used for compensation of way leaves damages instead of being utilized for construction of more power lines.
7.1.4 Cost of investment and Connection rates
Connection rates often remain low long after a project is completed even up to a period of two years. Experience shows that in areas where schemes have been constructed, only about 10% of the originally projected consumers get connected. In order to cure this problem, REA introduced the concept of community contributions for the low voltage ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 The peoples electricity link 31 Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development network (detailed under 6.2). However, the community leadership in most cases has not been able to mobilize the communities to make the necessary contributions once REA has communicated the costs of these schemes to them.
7.1.5 Increasing demand for electricity
There is a lot of pressure from leaders and communities to have electricity extended to their areas. Focus is particularly on grid-extension, whether it makes financial/economic sense or not. Yet, much of the demands could be met by other means, like solar electrification (Solar PV Systems). With the publication of the recently finished Rural Electrification Master Plan, we have rationalized our planning perspective. However, the bottom line is that these pressures can only be addressed if there are reasonable financial resources to extend either grid or off-grid power.
7.1.6 Inadequate local private sector capacity in the power industry
One of the challenges the programme has experienced is that of inadequate local capacity to invest (especially in renewable energy projects) and undertake construction of infrastructure. This has resulted into the bulk of renewable energy projects supported by the programme being undertaken by foreign developers, limited credible bids for construction works and limited bids for operating built networks and delayed project development processes.
7.1.7 Inadequate productive uses of electricity.
Low productive uses of electricity reduce the financial viability of rural electrification initiatives. Because end users are not using the electricity productively, there appears a low demand factor and revenue accruing to the end users remains low. Ultimately, this reduces the economic benefits of the rural electrification.
7.2 Intervention Measures and Strategies
7.2.1 Community Schemes
To be able to reach a wider group REA accepts community initiated schemes. This however only benefits those within a radius of 1 to 2 km. the procedure includes;
· Community mobilises itself and sends an expression of interest to REA · Community expresses a willingness to cost share with REA (30/70) and endorses consent in writing · Community must be willing to contribute right of way towards rural electrification project and endorses right of way in writing. · REA appraises schemes for economic viability · REA mobilises for surveys and costing of works · Community makes its contribution to REA's Account. · REA mobilises for construction of schemes.
ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 32 The peoples electricity link Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development 7.2.2 Low cost technology (ready boards)
REA promotes alternative technologies in addition to the grid including solar energy and low cost wiring using the Ready Board. REA also promotes the use pre-paid metering systems so that consumers can better manage their consumption.
7.2.3 OBA (subsidy)
Under ERT II, initial consumer subsidies for “immediate connections have been instituted while an output based aid (OBA) Scheme to provide an output-based type of subsidy has also been worked out for consumers who cannot pay for connection within the first 18 months of the commissioning of a project.
The OBA Scheme is a 4-year project funded by the World Bank (IDA), the Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA), the Government of Uganda and the German Financial Cooperation (KfW). The project aims at connecting about 132,500 low-income Ugandan households (or approximately, 655,000 beneficiaries) to electricity grids throughout Uganda, in rural, peri-urban and urban areas.
7.2.4 Corporate social responsibility, Community consultations and awareness creation processes
Continuous community sensitization and negotiations on the various conflicts related to way leaves and compensation does make a difference. Many times some of the conflict is politically motivated and REA has to continually visit projects areas to re-assure the communities until the compensations are made.
In addition REA endeavours to extend Corporate Social Responsibility (CPR) to the communities they work, in order to gain community confidence in the projects and also solicit the necessary support. The Agency supports causes, seminars and gives tips o productive use of energy through seminars and radio talk shows and advertisements.

8.0 CONCLUSION
ANNUAL RURAL ELECTRIFICATION REPORT 2011/12 34 The peoples electricity link Rural Electrification Agency Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development 8.0 CONCLUSION
The 2011/2012 Financial Year marked several milestones. REA managed to clear a backlog of way leaves compensations. This helped reduce the conflicts that were arising as a result of delayed payments.
A new Rural Electrification Strategy and Plan (RESP) for the period 2012 – 2021 was preparted and it introduced service territotries with empahsisi on public financing.
New initiatives were started to try and increase the number of connections within the REA projects area. An output based aid (OBA) scheme subsidy has been initiated to enhance connections for those who have not made connections to the grid 18 months after the commissioning of a project. The Royal Norwegian Government also came on board to offer connection subsidies for over 9,000 consumers.
The Financial Year also saw the several development partners coming on board to fund the Rural Electrification Programme including the Norwegian Government, KfW, the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) and the Arab Bank for Economic development in Africa (BADEA). This is in addition to other funders the Agency has always had on board including the Government of Uganda, the World Bank, JICA and Sida.
It is the Agency's sincere hope that the lessons learnt and the experience gained during this financial year will be used to put in place the right mechanisms for a successful Rural Electrification Programme in future.
